Answer 1

const dim3 blockSize(16, 16, 1);  //TODO
const dim3 gridSize( (numRows+15)/16, (numCols+15)/16, 1);  //TODO

int x = blockIdx.x * blockDim.x + threadIdx.x;  
int y = blockIdx.y * blockDim.y + threadIdx.y;

uchar4 rgba = rgbaImage[y*numRows + x];
float channelSum = .299f * rgba.x + .587f * rgba.y + .114f * rgba.z;
greyImage[y*numRows + x] = channelSum;
