An article typed on a computer contains 16 pages, each page has 30 lines, each line contains 32 characters.

An article typed on a computer contains 16 pages, each page has 30 lines, each line contains 32 characters. Determine the information volume of the article in one of the Unicode encodings, in which each character is encoded in 16 bits.

First, let’s determine the number of all characters in the specified article.

K = 16 * 30 * 32 = 15360 (characters).

Now let’s find the informational volume that this article occupies.

I (article size) = K (number of characters in the article) * i (one character size) = 15360 * 16 bits = 245760 bits = 245760/8 bytes = 30720 bytes = 30720/1024 kB = 30 kB.

Answer: the informational volume of the article in one of the Unicode encodings is 30 KB.
