Correct answer: (D) Statement I is false but Statement II is true
Explanation
Statement 1 is false because ASCII stands for American Standard Code for Information Interchange, not for Intelligent Information.
Statement 2 is true because decimal 37.25 does convert to binary 100101.01.
The whole part 37 becomes 100101 in binary.
The fraction 0.25 becomes 0.01 because it equals one quarter.
ASCII encodes each character as a 7-bit number, giving 128 codes.
Binary place values to the right of the point are one half, one quarter, one eighth and so on.
