ITPEC FE Morning April 2021 — Question 55 of 80

The service runs 14 hours/day (8:00 AM–10:00 PM) for 30 business days/month.

  • Total service hours = 14 × 30 = 420
  • Allowed downtime = 420 × (1 - 0.995) = 420 × 0.005 = 2.1

Answer: (b) 2.1 hours

Why not others:
- (a) 0.3 — implies ~99.93% availability, far stricter than required

- (c) 3.0 — implies ~99.29% availability, violates the 99.5% SLA

- (d) 3.6 — implies ~99.14% availability, also violates the SLA

Key rule: Max downtime = total service hours × (1 − availability%). Only count the hours the service is contractually required to run.
