0. An Operating System (OS) crashes on the average once in 30 days, that is, the Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) = 30 days. When this happens, it takes 10 minutes to recover the OS, that is, the Mean Time To Repair (MTTR) = 10 minutes. The availability of the OS with these reliability figures is approximately :

  • Option : D
  • Explanation : System crashes once in 30 days and need 10 minutes to get repaired. Either convert 30 days into minute or 10 minute into days 30 days = 30 ∗ 24 ∗ 60 minute fraction of time system is not available = (10 / (30 ∗ 24 ∗ 60 )) ∗ 100 = 0.023% Availability = 100 - 0.023 = 99.97% So, option (D) is correct.
