Perform Two's complement addition of two negative numbers \( (11101)_{2} \) and \( (11110)_{2} \)
In 5-bit 2's complement, \(11101_2 = -3\) and \(11110_2 = -2\).
Add them:
11101 + 11110 ------- 111011 → drop the final carry → 11011
\(11011_2\) in 2's complement: invert to 00100, add 1 to get 00101 = 5, so the value is −5.
Check: \(-3 + (-2) = -5\). Correct.
Answer: (B) 11011
