1. Problem Description

The image presents three problems.
Problem 11 asks for the binary equivalent of the hexadecimal number F5216F52_{16}.
Problem 12 provides the ASCII code for the character 'C' and asks for the ASCII code for the word 'BEG'.
Problem 13 presents a logic circuit composed of a NOR gate followed by a NOT gate, and asks for the equivalent logic gate.

2. Solution Steps

Problem 11:
To convert a hexadecimal number to binary, we convert each hexadecimal digit to its 4-bit binary equivalent.
F16=1510=11112F_{16} = 15_{10} = 1111_2
516=510=010125_{16} = 5_{10} = 0101_2
216=210=001022_{16} = 2_{10} = 0010_2
Thus, F5216=1111010100102F52_{16} = 111101010010_2.
Problem 12:
We are given that the ASCII code for 'C' is 100001121000011_2. We can determine the ASCII codes for 'B', 'E', and 'G' by using the fact that ASCII codes are sequential for letters.
'A' = 'C' - 2
'B' = 'C' - 1 = 100001121=100001021000011_2 - 1 = 1000010_2
'C' = 100001121000011_2
'D' = 'C' + 1 = 100010021000100_2
'E' = 'C' + 2 = 100010121000101_2
'F' = 'C' + 3 = 100011021000110_2
'G' = 'C' + 4 = 100011121000111_2
Therefore, the ASCII code for 'BEG' is 100001021000010_2, 100010121000101_2, 100011121000111_2.
Problem 13:
The circuit consists of a NOR gate followed by a NOT gate. A NOR gate outputs 1 only if both inputs are 0, otherwise it outputs

0. A NOT gate inverts the input.

Let A and B be the inputs to the NOR gate. Then the output of the NOR gate is A+B\overline{A + B}.
The NOT gate inverts this output, so the final output C is A+B=A+B\overline{\overline{A + B}} = A + B.
Thus, the equivalent gate is an OR gate.

3. Final Answer

Problem 11: The binary equivalent of F5216F52_{16} is 1111010100102111101010010_2. The answer is (3).
Problem 12: The ASCII code for 'BEG' is 10000101000010 10001011000101 10001111000111. The answer is (1).
Problem 13: The equivalent logic gate is an OR gate. The answer is (3).
