(B) 3 (C) 1 (D) 2 (E) Everything inside both for loops. Binary answers For the following questions you are to use your choices as they were the representation of a binary number. More precisely, A = 24, B = 23, C = 22, D = 21, and E = 20 position in a base 2 number. For example if you wanted to answer the number 23, you would translate it first as base 2 number, which is 10111, you would blacken A, C, D and E.2 Lets look at this process on your answer sheet, we have these 5 circle you can blacken. Normally you only pick one, here you might have to blacken more than one! @ ® © D ® Following the previous example, the answer we want to input is 23, its binary representation is 10111, hence the circle you would blacken are the following:
