ITPEC IP October 2023 Question 18
ITPEC IP October 2023 — Question 18 of 100
The highest directory is the root directory, the directory currently being manipulated is the current directory, and a path starting from the current directory is a relative path. Thus A = root, B = current, and C = relative. A relative path depends on the process's present location in the directory tree.
Answer (d)
Why not others:
- Options (a) and (b) reverse root and current directories
- (c) correctly names root and current but incorrectly calls the path absolute
- An absolute path starts from the root and identifies the same location regardless of the current directory
Key rule: Root is the hierarchy's top; current is the working location; relative paths begin from current, while absolute paths begin from root.
