What is the minimum amount of memory required to store a 16 color image if the display resolution is 320 × 240?

First, let’s use the formula N = 2 ^ i, where N is the maximum number of colors in the palette, and i is the color depth.

We know that N = 16, which implies that i = 4.

To determine the minimum image size, let’s use another formula:

I = k * i, where I – image volume, k – display resolution, i – color depth.

Since k = 320 * 240, and we found i = 4,

then I = 320 * 240 * 4 = 307200 bits = 38.4 KB.

Answer: 38.4 KB.
