Q:

An important drawback of binary system is ________

A) It requires very large string of 1’s and 0’s to represent a decimal number B) It requires sparingly small string of 1’s and 0’s to represent a decimal number
C) It requires large string of 1’s and small string of 0’s to represent a decimal number D) It requires small string of 1’s and large string of 0’s to represent a decimal number
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) It requires very large string of 1’s and 0’s to represent a decimal number

Explanation: The most vital drawback of binary system is that it requires very large string of 1’s and 0’s to represent a decimal number. Hence, Hexadecimal systems are used by processors for calculation purposes as it compresses the long binary strings into small parts.
