Best answer
Correct Answer - Option 3 : 16

The correct answer is 16.

  • The “Hexadecimal” or simply “Hex” numbering system uses the Base of 16 system and is a popular choice for representing long binary values because their format is quite compact and much easier to understand compared to the long binary strings of 1’s and 0’s.
  • Being a Base-16 system, the hexadecimal numbering system, therefore, uses 16 (sixteen) different digits with a combination of numbers from 0 through to 15. In other words, there are 16 possible digit symbols.
  • Hexadecimal Numbering System we use the numbers from 0 to 9 and the capital letters A to F to represent its Binary or Decimal number equivalent, starting with the least significant digit at the right-hand side.
