If the two numbers are to be multiplied, the mantissa are multiplied and the exponents are added.(a) True(b) FalseI got this question during a job interview.I'd like to ask this question from Representation of Numbers topic in chapter Discrete Time Systems Implementation of Digital Signal Processing

Answer» CORRECT OPTION is (a) True

To explain I would say: Let us CONSIDER two numbers X=M.2^E and Y=N.2^F

If we multiply both X and Y, we get X.Y=(M.N).2^E+F

Thus if we multiply two numbers, the MANTISSA are multiplied and the EXPONENTS are added.
