b) (i)Is it possible to design a 3-bit binary code to represent each of the 7 digits of the base-7 number system that is also self-complementing? How, if it is possible, and why not, if it is not possible? (ii)Is it possible to design a 3-bit binary code to represent each of the 8 digits of the base-8 number system that is also self-complementing? How, if it is possible, and why not, if it is not possible? [Remember: a code is self-complementing when the complementary digits in base 7 encode into complementary triplets in the 3-bit representation; for instance BCD is not self-complementing, for 0 and 9 are complementing, but 0000 and 1001 are not; the 2421 code is self-complementing]

Q.No.5: As we know that computer understands the binary number system instead of the decimal or any other system why? Also we have learnt about all number systems and its conversion, now as we know that computer accepts binary system then why and when are octal, decimal and hexadecimal numbers are preferred over binary numbers, justify your answer?
