ITPEC IP April 2018 Question 17
ITPEC IP April 2018 — Question 17 of 100
From D3, the correct relative path first moves to the parent and then descends through D2 and D4. The resulting path is ..\D2\D4\a. Moving up once with .. reaches D1; only one upward step is required because D3 and D2 share the same parent.
Answer (b)
Why not others:
- option (a) moves upward twice and goes above D1
- option (c) starts with D1 but lacks the root marker, so it would be interpreted under D3
- option (d) searches for D2 under the current directory D3
Key rule: In a relative path, .. means the parent directory; list each downward directory after reaching the nearest common ancestor.
