Show Solution

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

To add the hexadecimal numbers, first convert them to decimal: DF16 equals 223 (13 × 16 + 15), and AC16 equals 172 (10 × 16 + 12). Add these decimal values: 223 + 172 = 395. Finally, convert the decimal sum 395 back to hexadecimal, which results in 18B16 (395 ÷ 16 = 24 with a remainder of 11).
