The following numbers can be represented as 8-bit numbers in the binary representation.Which of these has a ‘1’ in the second place from the right in the binary representation?

A. 171
B. 185
C. 214
D. A and C

To find which of the given numbers has a '1' in the second place from the right in the binary representation, we can convert each number into its binary form and check the second digit from the right.

Let's convert each number into binary:

A. 171: 10101011
B. 185: 10111001
C. 214: 11010110

From the binary representations, we can see that both A (10101011) and C (11010110) have a '1' in the second place from the right (the place value is 2^1 = 2).

Therefore, the correct answer is option D: A and C.
