IEEE 754 single precision: RX = 0xC1100000, RY = 0x40C00000, RZ = 0x41400000. Which option(s) is/are CORRECT?

Correct Answer: (A), (B), (C)Decoding IEEE 754 values:RX=0xC1100000: Sign=1(−), Exp=130→bias=3, Mantissa=1.001₂=1.125. Value = −1.125×2³ = X = −9RY=0x40C00000: Sign=0(+), Exp=129→bias=2, Mantissa=1.1₂=1.5. Value = 1.5×2² = Y = 6RZ=0x41400000: Sign=0(+), Exp=130→bias=3, Mantissa=1.1₂=1.5. Value = 1.5×2³ = Z = 12Verification:A: 4(−9+6)+12 = 4(−3)+12 = −12+12 = 0 ✓B: 2(6)−12 = 0 ✓C: 4(−9)+3(12) = −36+36 = 0 ✓D: −9+6+12 = 9 ≠ 0 ✗
