Correct Answer - Option 4 : n(log
32) ternary digits
Concept:
Maximum number possible using n-bit in Binary: 2n – 1
Maximum number possible using x bit in Ternary: 3x – 1
Both will take different numbers of bits to represent the same number.
Explanation
3x – 1 = 2n – 1
3x = 2n
Taking log3 on both side
log2 (3x)= log2 (2n)
x.log3 (3) = n × log3 (2 )
x = n × log3 (2 )
