Sucharita: Here, I've done 95% of it for you. If I do much more, then you'd just be turning in my answer as your own and I don't think your course rules allow that. You just need to replace the line that says "% code" with your own code and then display the output image after the loop is done.

Thank you so Much sir you really helped me a lot...... I will do the remaning.

Just scan the image pixel by pixel getting the RGB color. Then compute the color distance and if it's less than R0, copy that color to an output image. Here's a start:

[rows, columns, numberOfColorChannels] = size(rgbImage);
outputImage = zeros(rows, columns, numberOfColorChannels, class(rgbImage));
for col = 1 : columns
    for row = 1 : rows
        thisR = double(rgbImage(row, col, 1));
        thisG = double(rgbImage(row, col, 2));
        thisB = double(rgbImage(row, col, 3));
        distance = sqrt((thisR - a1(1))^2 + .........) % or a2 for case ii
            if distance < R0
               % code...
            end
    end
end

Sir, I tried to copy the color to output image but it says Index error
