I have searched, but not found an option that tells me what version of binutils I have on My Ubuntu. Or at least I don't know how to interpret it.

gcc -v - tells nothing about binutils

ld -v - tells me GNU ld (GNU Binutils for Ubuntu) 2.24. Does this means that I have binutils 2.24?

Yes, with ld -v you can view the version of binutils (in your case is 2.24)
