How many bit code is used by Murray code for TELEPRINTER machines.

A 4

E None of the above

ANS:B - 5

The Baudot code, invented by Emile Baudot, is a character set predating EBCDIC and ASCII.

It was the predecessor to the International Telegraph Alphabet No.2 (ITA2) , the teleprinter code in use until the advent of ASCII. Each character in the alphabet is represented by a series of bits, sent over a communication channel such as a telegraph wire or a radio signal. The symbol rate measurement is known as baud, and is derived from the same name.
