Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To subtract in binary, we borrow from the next digit when a digit is less than the digit we are subtracting it from. Starting from the rightmost digit, 1 cannot be subtracted from 0, so we borrow from the next digit, which gives 2 in the 5th digit. Then we subtract and borrow again in the 3rd digit to get 2 in the 2nd digit. Finally, we subtract and get 1 in the leftmost digit. Therefore, the result is 11ebb7d6_6e06_19ec_ad4c_398588877c3f_TB8285_11. Subtracting 6e05 from 11ebb7d6 results in 11ebb7d0. The rest of the numbers in the options are the same, so the answer is B because it has the correct difference, 19ec. The others are incorrect.
