If \(M5_{ten} = 1001011_{two}\) find the value of M

A.

5

B.

6

C.

7

D.

8

Correct answer is C

\(M5_{ten} = 1001011_{two}\\
=1 \times 2^6 + 0\times 2^5 + 0\times 2^4 + 1\times 2^3 + 0\times 2^2 + 1\times 2^1 \\
=64+8+2+1=75_{ten}\\
∴ m = 7 \)

Find the value of x in the diagram

A.

31o

B.

35o

C.

37o

D.

41o

Correct answer is B

Sum of exterior angle of any polygon is 360o
(2x+5)o + 2xo + (x-20)o + xo + (3x+10)o + (x + 15)o = 360o; 10x = 350
x = 35
