• B. Signed 2's complement or signed 1's complement
• C. Biased exponent
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is D All of the above

The exponent part, in floating point number is represented by

1) Signed magnitude

2) Signed 2's complement or signed 1's complement

Floating point:-The term floating point refers to a number's radix point (decimal point, or binary point) can "float"; that is, it can be placed anywhere relative to the significant digits of the number.

One's Complement of a Signed Binary Number:-In one's complement, positive numbers remain unchanged as before with the sign-magnitude numbers. Negative numbers however, are represented by taking the one's complement of the unsigned positive number.
