UGC NET 2019 Home Science Question Paper (04-Dec-2019) (Shift 2)
The correct answer is

Both a and b

To determine which statements are correct, let's analyze each statement step-by-step:

  1. Statement (a): For the sequence of integers represented in binary as 00111, 01001, 01011, P……., the next integer P would be represented as 01101.
    • The binary numbers given are:
      • 00111 (which is 7 in decimal)
      • 01001 (which is 9 in decimal)
      • 01011 (which is 11 in decimal)
    • The sequence is increasing by 2: 7 → 9 (+2), 9 → 11 (+2).
    • Following this pattern, the next integer should be 11 + 2 = 13.
    • The binary representation of 13 is 01101.
    • Therefore, Statement (a) is correct.
  2. Statement (b): A byte is a binary number consisting of exactly 8 bits.
    • A byte is a fundamental unit of digital information in computing and telecommunications.
    • It consists of 8 bits.
    • Therefore, Statement (b) is also correct.

Thus, both statements (a) and (b) are correct, making the correct answer "Both a and b."
