@Priyank is right but I think that raj method of identification is wrong because, how this is right== 7 (111) , 4 (100) , 8 (1000) total of 10 bits.
i.e. (1111001000) mark from LSB Then you feel the answer is wrong if you separate in hexadecimal then you have to separate by four bits then 0011 1100 1000==3c8. This is wrong answer. Any correction please reply.

748/2= div-374 rem=0
374/2= div-187 rem=0
187/2= div-93 rem=1
93/2= div-46 rem=1
46/2 div-23 rem=0
23/2 div-11 rem=1
11/2 div-5 rem=1
5/2 div-2 rem=1
2/2 div-1 rem=0
1/2 div=0 rem=1
Hence (748)=1011101100
So 10 digits are required to represent 748.

2^9=512 that means we can write at most 512 with 9 digits.
2^19=1024 that means we can represent up to 1024 with 10 digits.
2^19=1024 that means we can represent up to 1024 with 10 digits.

Thanks pavan and raji. It was an easy way to explain.

Thank you raji. Thats quite easy method. Will it hold correct for similar question with different value.

748= 512 + 0 + 128 + 64 + 32 + 0 + 8 + 4 + 0 +0(2 powers in order)
748= 10 1110 1100 Total ten bits required to represent 748 numbers
748= 10 1110 1100 Total ten bits required to represent 748 numbers

8-4-2-1 method is easy to understand

By using 8-4-2-1 method also we can find it..
like binary number of 7(111),4(100), 8(1000) total of 10 bits.. i.e(1111001000)
like binary number of 7(111),4(100), 8(1000) total of 10 bits.. i.e(1111001000)

2^9=512, 2^7=128, 2^10=1024, 2^8=256
Therefore 10 bits are necessary to represent 748 different numbers
