In 2's complement representation the number 11100101 represents the decimal number
+37
-31
+27
-27
Answer: Option
Explanation:

A = 11100101. Therefore A = 00011010 and A' = A + 1 = 00011011 = 16 + 8 + 2 + 1 = 27. Therefore A = -27.

Given A = 11100101.

2's comp A' = A + 1 = 00011011.

Why did you consider from A? Why didn't you consider from A' I mean sign.

-(2^4=16, 2^3=8, 2^1=2, 2^0=1) = -27.

How come it is -ve sign. It should be +ve?

Can anyone explain me?

Why we use -ve sign instead of +ve sign?

In the given binary form msb bit is 1 should keep '-' sign. Msb bit is 0 then you should keep positive sign.

They asked decimal equivalent of 2's complement of 11100101 which is 00011011 here MSB is 0, hence +27.
