Solution
All the above statements are true.
a. In binary arithmetic, subtraction is indeed performed as addition with the sign of the subtrahend (the number being subtracted) changed. This is done by taking the 2's complement of the subtrahend and then adding it to the minuend (the number from which another number is to be subtracted).
b. The sign of a positive or negative number remains the same when taking its 2’s complement. The 2's complement of a binary number is obtained by inverting the digits and adding 1 to the least significant bit. If the number was positive, its 2's complement will also be positive, and if it was negative, its 2's complement will also be negative.
c. To subtract two signed numbers in binary, you take the 2’s complement of the subtrah

In binary system each and every number and its sign are represented by using only thesetwo digits 0 and 1. As the negative and positive signs cannot be written directly in binarysystem. The alternative method to represent negative and positive numbers is the 2’scomplement method. It has an interesting property that the binary arithmetic operationcan be performed easily on signed or unsigned numbers. Compute the following binaryarithmetic operations using 2’s complement method. Show all the steps clearly. (LO 01)(2*5 = 10 Marks)a) Sum of -30 and 17b) Sum of -42 and -15c) Sum of -13 and -16d) Multiplication of -8 by 6e) Multiplication of -11 by -9
