Correct Answer - Option 2 : 0.011

Concept:

Decimal to binary:

  • Take the decimal number as a dividend.
  • Divide the number by 2.
  • Get the integer quotient for the next iteration.
  • Get the remainder (it will be either 0 or 1 because of divisor 2).
  • Repeat the steps until the quotient is equal to 0
  • Write the remainders in reverse order (which will be the equivalent binary number of a given decimal number).

Decimal to binary: (fractional part)

  • Take the decimal numbers as the multiplicand.
  • Multiply this number by 2 (2 is the base of binary so multiplier here).
  • Store the value of the integer part of the result in an array (it will be either 0 or 1 because of multiplier 2).
  • Repeat the above two steps until the number became zero.
  • Write these resultant integer part

 

Calculation:

Convert decimal fractional number 0.375 into binary number.

Here, decimal fraction: 0.375

Multiplication

Resultant integer part (R)

0.375 x 2= 0.750

0

0.750 x 2 = 1.50

1

0.50 x 2= 1.00

1

0.00 x 2= 0

0

Now, write these resultant integer parts, this will be 0.0110 which is the equivalent binary fractional number of decimal fractional 0.375.

∴ 57.375 can be written as 111001.011 in binary

Hence, option (2) is correct.
