It takes 67.5 ms. 540 pixels (grey) would take 540 bytes. And the speed is 64Kbps or 8KBps.

I think it depends upon the resolution of the PICTURE. If the picture is black and white then each pixel is represented by only 1 BIT and not a BYTE. If resolution is better then no of bits to represent a pixel will be more.

Considering todays standards, we must assume its a colour pixel.. Even if its not, standard communication now happens at byte-level..

540 pixels represent 540 bytes..

So, we need to transmit 540 bytes.. Speed of link given is 64Kbps (64 Kilo bits per second) .. This is the same as 64/8=8 Kile Bytes per second (8 KBps)

(Notice the capital B for bytes..)

So the time required to transfer would be 540/8000=67.5 secs

which is approx 1 min and 7.5 seconds

Consider 64 Kbps to be velocity and 540 pixels (540 bytes) to be distance.

Hence, time required to transmit 540 bytes over 8KBps link is simply 540/8000 = 0.0675 sec

I do not know why everybody is answering 67.5 secs...

It takes 1 second to transmit 8000 bytes is the definition of 8KBps and since we are only transmitting 540 bytes, we need less than 1 sec to do this...

Hey 0.0675s is the ans. simple 540*8/(64*1000)

Guys when did 8kbytes become 8000bytes...
its 1024*8=8192bytes.

If we consider 540 pixel =540 bytes=540*8 bits.
Now per second we are transferring=64*1024bits
So 64*1024 bits are transferred in 1 sec.
Therefore for 540*8 bits we require=(1/(64*1024))*540*8
.0659 sec

if it is a colour picture each pixel is 3 bytes(RGB) so time taken is 540*3/8000
if it is black&white each pixel is 1 byte so time taken 540/8000

In transmission its considered as download and upload
so, we have 64kbps 
Divide by 8 to get the download speed so its 8kbps ie 8192 bits per sec
Now consider the image its 540Bytes convert into bits its 540*1024 = 552960
So divide both 552960 / 8192 = 67.5 sec
i.e., 1 min 7 secs

for gray 1 pixel = 1 byte.
for color 1 pixel = 3 byte;
64kbps =64 kilo bit per sec;
64kbps= 64/8 kilo byte per sec= 8000 byte per sec;
so 540 gray pixels, time=540/8000=0.067sec;
for color 540 pixels, time= 540*3/8000=0.202 sec;
