• A. $2$
• B. $8$
• C. $10$
• D. $16$

Answer 1

The correct option is A

$2$

Finding the power used by the binary system for the positional system:

A binary number system is one of the four types of number system. In computer applications, where binary numbers are represented by only two symbols or digits, i.e.$0$ (zero) and $1$(one). The binary numbers here are expressed in the base-$2$ numeral system.

• Binary numbers are made up of only $0$’s and $1$'s.
• A binary number is represented with a base-$2$
• A bit is a single binary digit.

Hence, The binary system uses powers of $2$ for positional values.

Hence, the correct option is (A).
