Question

Can anyone tell me what is lower and higher bits?. How to identify a higher and lower bit?. Below is binary form. How does 0110 is higher bit in it?.

0110 0111 1100 1010 1100 0111 1001 1011

Answer 1

Just like in decimal, higher places are generally written to the left in binary. So if you see 0111, the 0 is the high bit. So this would represent 7 in decimal. The same applies when spaces are used, just like when commas (or dots, depending on your locale) are used to separate groups of digits in decimal.
