What is the sum of the binary numbers \((101101101)_2\) and \((100011)_2\)?

This question was previously asked in
NDA 2 2025 GAT Question Paper (14-Sep-2025)
The correct answer is

\((110010000)_2\)

To find the sum of two binary numbers, we perform binary addition similarly to decimal addition, with the only difference being that in binary, the digits are 0 and 1.

Binary Addition Rules:
\(0 + 0 = 0\)No carry
\(0 + 1 = 1\)No carry
\(1 + 0 = 1\)No carry
\(1 + 1 = 0\)Carry 1

To add \((101101101)_2\) and \((100011)_2\):

  • Align the numbers from the right:
  •                 101101101              + 000100011                ---------            
  • Start adding from the rightmost bit:
  • Below is the step-by-step addition:

                1 (carry from next step)              101101101            + 000100011            ------------            110010000    

Explanation of each step:

  • The rightmost digits are 1 and 1. According to our rules: \(1 + 1 = 0\) with a carry of 1.
  • Next, add 1 (from second last bit of the upper number) and 1 (carry), resulting in \(0\), with another carry over.
  • Continue the addition to the left; when no further carry is required, just add the digits normally.
  • Finally, add the remaining digits, taking care of each carry step.

Hence, the sum of \((101101101)_2\) and \((100011)_2\) is \((110010000)_2\).

Correct Answer: \((110010000)_2\).
