1.

Which of the following is designed to improve the processing efficiency of a PC by

effectively reducing the time for the CPU to access the main memory?

a) SSD b) Virtual memory

c) Cache memory d) Defragmentation

2. As shown in the directory structure below, when D3 marked by an asterisk (*) is the
current directory, which of the following the appropriate directory path that can designate
file A under directory D4 marked by an arrow? Here, a file is designated as follows:

[Method of file designation]

(1) A file is referenced as “directory name\···\directory name\file name”, where the

directory names on the path are listed and separated with “\” in sequence, followed
by the file name.
(2) The current directory is represented by a period “.”
(3) A directory that is one level higher is represented by two periods “..”.
(4) When the path name string begins with a backslash “\”, the root directory is omitted
from the beginning of the string.
(5) When the path name string does not begin with “\”, “.”, or “..”, it is assumed that
“ .\” for the current directory is omitted from the beginning of the string.

a) ..\..\D2\D4\A b) ..\D2\D4\A
c) D1\D2\D4\A d) D2\D4\A

3. Which of the following is an advantage of using OSS (Open Source Software)?

a) Technical support can be received free of charge from the developer at the time
of installation.
b) The software is not prone to infection of viruses, as the source code is not
released.
c) Compensation can be received for damages caused by defects in the software.
d) The source code can be modified to fit the environment of the user in
accordance with the license terms.
4. When a computer system operates for 1,200 hours, the status of the normal operation
time and the repair time is shown in the table below. What is the value of MTTR (Mean
Time To Repair, in hours) of the system?

Elapsed Time (Hours) Status

0 through 250 Normal operation
250 through 265 Repair time
265 through 580 Normal Operation
580 through 600 Repair Time
600 through 990 Normal Operation
900 through 1000 Repair Time
1000 through 1200 Normal Operation

a) 10 b) 15 c) 20 d) 45

5. When MTBF is 600 hours and MTTR is 12 hours, what is the approximate availability?

6. A total of 60,000 hours has passed since a computer system was put into operation.
During this operation period, a total of 100 failures occurred, and the system was repaired
each time. The last repair was completed at the 60,000th hours. If the MTTR is 60 hours,
how many hours is the MTBF of the system during this period?

7. There are three devices, A, B, and C, with availabilities of 0.90, 0.95, and 0.95
respectively. Among the systems combining these devices shown below, which of the
following has the highest availability? Here, at least one of the parallel-connected devices
must be available, and all of the serially-connected devices must be available.
