For your questions:

Question 1: How many different color possibilities are there per pixel with 24 bits?

With 24 bits, you can represent \(2^{24}\) different colors.

Calculating \(2^{24}\):

  • \(2^{10} = 1024\)
  • \(2^{20} = 1,048,576\)
  • \(2^{24} = 16,777,216\)

So, the answer is 16,777,216. However, since this specific option isn't listed, I will assume the only closest option provided is 16,000,000, but please note the technically correct number of colors is 16,777,216.


Question 2: If 0101 1010 represents the number 90 using the ASCII character set, which binary number would represent the number 91?

In binary, numbers increase by incrementing the least significant bit.

Starting from:

  • 90 in binary is 0101 1010.

To find 91, simply add 1 to 90:

  • 0101 1010 + 1 = 0101 1011

So the binary number representing 91 is 0101 1011.


Final answers:

  1. Closest option: 16,000,000 (correct technically is 16,777,216).
  2. The answer is 0101 1011.
