I have to do this compilation so that students sitting for UTME do not fall into the pitfall of just "playing poll" with the options. It is better for them to omit shading such answer because of negative marking, if they notice the answer they got is not in the potion provided

No 4 is correct naa. 1122(d)

(7x6^1)+(2X6^0)=44
44 to base 3 is 1122. But d technique of d question is not correct, cus dey wana knw if u are intelligent in observing question. Nice one ops. Most companies set pple up with these questions

Mathematically in base 6, Digit 7 does not exist. So the question is wrong. Take a good and observant look at the question again. 72₆ cannot exist. It is totally out of place when working in base 6
