Answer #1

XOR logic:

Input - Output

0 0  - 0

0 1 - 1

1 0 - 1

1 1 - 0

a)

ff ff ff ff ⊕ de ad be ef

First of all convert to binary

f = 1111

ff ff ff ff = 11111111 11111111 11111111 11111111

d = 1101

e = 1110

a = 1010

b = 1011

f = 1111

de ad be ef = 11011110 10101101 10111110 11101111

Now perform XOR operation

1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1

1 1 0 1 1 1 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 1

..................................................................................................

0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0

2 = 0010

1 = 0001

5 = 0101

4 = 0100

0 = 0000

(0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0)2 = 21 52 41 10

b)

88 88 44 44 ⊕ 77 77 bb bb

8 = 1000

4 = 0100

88 88 44 44 = 10001000 10001000 01000100 01000100

7 = 0111

b = 1011

77 77 bb bb = 01110111 01110111 10111011 10111011

Now perform XOR operation

1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0

...................................................................................................

1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1  1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1

(1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1  1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1)2 = (ff ff ff ff)16

c)

ca fe fa ce ⊕ 10 45 57 ce

c = 1100

a = 1010

f = 1111

e= 1110

ca fe fa ce = 11001010 11111110 11111010 11001110

10 45 57 ce

1 = 0001

0 = 0000

4 = 0100

5 = 0101

7 = 0111

c = 1100

e = 1110

10 45 57 ce = 00010000 01000101 01010111 1100 1110

Now perform XOR operation

1 1 0 0 1 0 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 0  1 1 0 0 1 1 1 0
