The binary reads, "01000011 01110010 01100001 01110011 01101000 00101100 00100000 01110000 01101100 01100101 01100001 01110011 01100101 00100000 01110010 01100101 01100010 01101111 01101111 01110100."

I converted the first set 01000011 which gives decimal 67. I know that the ASCII value of A is 65. So, 67 must be C. That was only the option which started with C. It was easy !!!

Quick Solution

there are 20 binary sets shown, corresponding to 20 characters. (each can represent an alphanumeric char, spaces, punctuation, symbols).

the answer is obvious among the choices. you should make choices all 20 strings long.

Proper Solution:

convert the binary to decimal and follow the ASCII table, it will become "Crash, please reboot" (comma and spaces has an ASCII value).

Wild guess.. just count the sets of numbers and check the character in the MCQ...

I solve it without translating it. Because computers say the truth and what happened so someone can fix it. And the problem says that the computer crashed. So the answer is ' Crash, please reboot.'
