Answer

a. 65,536 b. 16,777,216 c. 16,777,216

Work Step by Step

a. 16-bit sampling can represent $2^{16}=65,536$ possible voltages. b. 24-bit sampling can represent $2^{24}=16,777,216$ possible voltages. c. For 3 subpixels, each requiring 8 bits, we use 24 bits. This is the same answer as before. The number of different colors is $2^{24}=16,777,216$.
