A computer with 32 bit word size uses 2s compliment to represent numbers. The range of integers that can be represented by this computer is
(A) –2³² to 2³²
(B) –2³¹ to 2³²-1
(C) –2³¹ to 2³¹-1
(D) –2³¹-1 to 2³²-1


Answer: (C)

Explanation: Range of \’n\’ bit 2\’s compliment binary number is always –2^(n-1) to 2^(n-1)-1.
