Question 1 Explanation: 
For every option we need to calculate memory.
Option A:
1600×400 = 64000 = 640 KB
256 colours 8 bits = 1 Byte
⇒ 640×1 = 640KB (we have 1MB)
Option B:
1600×400 = 640KB
16 million = 24 bits = 3 bytes
⇒ 640×3 = 1920KB (Not enough)
Option C:
800×400 = 320 KB
16 millions = 3 bytes ⇒ 320×3 = 960 KB (we have 1MB)
Option D:
800×400 = 320 KB
256 colours = 1 Byte ⇒ 320×1 = 320 (we have 1MB)
Question 2
Consider a raster system with resolution 640 by 480. What size is frame buffer (in bytes) for this system to store 12 bits per pixel?
A
450 kilobytes
B
500 Kilobytes
C
350 kilobytes
D
400 kilobytes

Question 2 Explanation: 
8 bits = 1 byte.
A frame-buffer size of the systems are as follows:
= (640 x 480 x 12) bits / 8
= 450KB
