Question

Which icon is greater in file size? (Show your working)

a. A 256 colour icon with dimensions of 50 x 50 pixels

B. A 16 colour icon with dimensions of 100x 100 pixels (2marks)

Answer 1

the 256 color icon would be greater in file size.

Step-by-step explanation:

regardless of how many pixels are in the image, file A has 256 colors meaning the computer has to individually load each one of those colors. it'll probably use a lot of ink if you decide to print it, too.
