ITPEC IP October 2023 Question 41
ITPEC IP October 2023 — Question 41 of 100
Option (d) assigns exactly the required permissions to all three user categories. The settings are owner RWX, group R-X, and others --X. Everyone needs execute permission, so X is set in all three categories. Read is limited to the owner and owner's group, so R is set for those two but not others. Write is limited to the owner, so only the owner's W is set.
Answer (d)
Why not others:
- (a) incorrectly gives write permission to the group
- (b) incorrectly gives read permission to other users
- (c) gives other users read and write permission but withholds their required execute permission
Key rule: Translate each requirement independently across owner, group, and others, then combine R, W, and X for each category.
