1)
a. How many objects can we represent with 5 bits? Show your calculations.
b. How many bits do we need to represent 50 objects? Show your logic.

Solution

Ans)

a) With 5 bits you can represent 2⁵ =32 objects

---------------------------

b) no bits required to represent 50 objects is log₂50=6 after round to next highest integer

so total of 6 bits required
