Well, here we need to first convert the No. into decimal No. By multiplying each digit with 8^0 8^1.

1*8^1+3*8^0. 5*8^-1+4*8^-2.
Result = 11.11.

Now its LCM by 2 i.e. decimal to binary which is,

Option A 1011 1011.

This is totally wrong.

The answer is that,

Just write octal counting then equal to decimal so that.

The decimal equivalent is 11.44 now you convert into decimal answer will be 1011.1011.

Firstly the 13.54 octal number converted to decimal number. after conversion to decimal, we get 11.6875.

Now convert 11.6875 i.e. base 10 or decimal number to the binary of base 2.
Hence we get the result 1101.1011.
That's it

So 11.46, answer in Binary.

It can also be done by this method.

Octal is represented in 3 places.

1 = 001.
3 = 011.
5 = 101.
4 = 100.

So 13.54 = 001011.101100 which can be written as 1011.1011.

@Jyoti is correct. You just need to truncate the preceding and leading zeroes.

well here we need to first convert the No. into decimal No. by multiplying each digit with 8^0 8^1..

1*8^1+3*8^0.5*8^-1+4*8^-2.
Result = 11.11.

Now its LCM by 2 i.e decimal to binary which is,

Option A 1011 1011.

No @Jyoti you are wrong. Answer is option A. But I need to know actual method that I've forgotten.

The method of Octal to Binary conversion is: to substitute the value from a Table.
1=001
3=011
5=101
4=100
13.54=001011.101100
So, answer according to me is [E]
