Q.) A three digit decimal number requires                  for representation in the conventional BCD format.

(A) 3 bits
(B) 6 bits
(C) 12 bits
(D) 24 bits
Correct answer : Option (C) - 12 bits

Explanation:
 the number of bits needed to represent a given decimal number is always greater than the number of bits required for a straight binary encoding of the same. hence, a three digit decimal number requires 12 bits for representation in bcd format.
