Question

Even parity bit for the given binary number 100111 is

• A. 0
• B. 1
• C. 2
• D. error

Hint:

In even parity, the parity bit is set such that the total number of 1's, including the parity bit, is even.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Count the number of 1's in the given binary number: 100111. There are four 1's.


Step 2: For an even parity, the total number of 1's should be even. Since there are four 1's, the parity bit should be 0 to maintain even parity.
