Correct Answer : Option (A) :   (36.206)₈


Explanation : If you want to convert a hexadecimal number into an octal number, the first thing you need to do is convert a hexadecimal number into binary form by writing the binary equivalent of each digit in the form of 4 bits. Once you write the number into binary form, you need to group the binary equivalent in 3 bits, then for each of the three bits, the respective digit is written.

(1E.43)₁₆ = (0001 1110.0100 0011)₂

= (00011110.01000011)â‚‚

= (011110.010000110)â‚‚

= (011 110.010 000 110)â‚‚

= (36.206)₈
