The sign magnitude representation of -9 is___________(a) 00001001(b) 1

1.	The sign magnitude representation of -9 is___________(a) 00001001(b) 11111001(c) 10001001(d) 11001This question was addressed to me by my college professor while I was bunking the class.This intriguing question comes from Sign Magnitude topic in chapter Computer Arithmetic of Computer Fundamentals
Answer» CORRECT choice is (C) 10001001 To explain I would say: In CASE of a negative number, the leftmost digit is 1 if the number is negative. Therefore, +9=00001001 and -9=10001001. Similarly for all other negative numbers.
