b

Answer 2

I've been using Hexadecimal for over twenty years and I've never heard of conventional Hexadecimal values. This makes me wonder if the two previous posters are simply full of it.

However, your question didn't make any sense to me at all. None of the answers seemed to match the numbers you listed.Then I realized that it was probably the way the numbers were written and that it wasn't showing as superscript. I am now assuming that you intended to write 1, 16, 16 ^2, 16 ^3, 16 ^4. In other words, I assume that the 162 was actually 16 to the power of 2, then 16 to power of 3 and 16 to the power of 4. If this is the case then these would be weights and the answer would be c.

1 = 16 ^0
16 = 16 ^ 1

For example, like it says here http://www.answers.com/topic/computer-numbering-formats

"the hex weights are powers of 16"

Answer 3

the value.
