question is not asking about range of numbers u can represent using n bits
it's asking how many maximum representations u can have for any number in signed magnitude?
so given answer is right...in signed magnitude we have 2 representations for 0...one starting with 0000000.. and other
starting with 10000.....
in 1s compliment also we have 2 representations fr 0...
