What's the trouble?

Have you tried anything? At the moment it just seems like a lazy attempt to just get the answer from us

Just add the numbers like normal. For each column then convert it to binary and insert the right most digit and carry the remaining digits.
So
0+1+0=1 so put a 1 in the right most box
1+0+0=1 so put a 1 in the next box
1+0+1=2 which is 10 in binary so put a 0 in the next box and carry the 1
0+0+0=0 now add the carried 1 to get 1 which is what you put in the left most box

#

It's normal math just using 2 digits rather than 10

Well with no other information you're forced to assume that there's 4 leading zeros trimmed off since you need 16 bits to make 2 binary integers?
00000110 + 00010100 = 00011010
6 + 20 = 26
But you can't write that answer down so you're forced to assume this is a really basic test and in that case the answer is 1011 or 11 or 6+1+4.

Wait the question said 2 binary numbers but I see 3?

Yeah and that's not 2.. 😄

Wait a minute... You're right!

#

This question is wack lol

Unless the study materials had a table/set of binary numbers to memorize and there's 2 memorable binary numbers that follow 6, 4, 1, ..., ..., ?
