1010011 first convert to octal or hexadecimal eg. In hexadecimal, it is 53 then 53 into decimal 5*16^1 + 3*16^0=80+3=83 decimal number.

Most of the people asking why to take 7bits particularly. The explanation is simple.
A-Z = 65-90
a-z = 97 - 122
2^0 = 1
2^1 = 2
2^2 s= 4
.
.
.
2^6 = 64
2^7 = 128
2^8 = 256
Here all the alphabets including upper and lower decimal values will not exceed 128 which is 2^7, which means the MSB is always 0 which is ignored here.

Why not study hard? @Venkatesh.

We have to group 7 bits for each group. i.e., from least significant position to most significant position and then place them with equivalent ASCII code.

Good explanation @Vinsian.

Another way to do. First, we can observer question it consists of a 70. Each ASCII bit is 7. Total 70/7=10 characters. Only b option contains 10 characters.
