The hexadecimal number system consists of the symbols

A0 to 7

B0 to 9 and A to F ✓ Correct

C0 to 7 and A to F

DNone of the above

Correct answer: (B) 0 to 9 and A to F

Explanation

The hexadecimal system uses sixteen symbols, the digits 0 to 9 and the letters A to F.

Only 0 to 7 describes the octal system, not hexadecimal.

Mixing 0 to 7 with A to F gives fifteen symbols, which is incorrect.

None-of-these does not apply, since the sixteen symbols are listed.

The letters A to F stand for the decimal values 10 to 15.

Hexadecimal is base sixteen and compactly represents binary data.
