I am getting  332.8KB

total number of bolck in File is  =  1.3GB/512B

                                                  =  2.6 M block

and each Block Need  1 bit in Bit map then total 2.6 M bit are needed to represent Bit Map in memory

memory for Bit map in Byte  = 2.6 M bit / 8 bit

                                              =  332.8 KB
