The fire triangle is a simple model that illustrates the three elements that a fire needs to ignite and sustain: oxygen, heat, and fuel. Oxygen is the oxidizing agent that enables the combustion reaction, heat is the energy source that raises the temperature of the fuel to its ignition point, and fuel is the material that reacts with oxygen and releases heat and light. Removing any one of these elements can extinguish a fire. For example, water can reduce the heat and the oxygen, sand or soil can smother the fuel and the oxygen, and fire extinguishers can displace the oxygen or lower the temperature.

Question 2
Which one of the following is used in Measuring Business Value?
Options:
A.
Regeneration Cost
B.
Scalability
C.
Reliability
D.
Upfront Cost
Answer:
B
Explanation:
Explanation:
Measuring business value is the process of assessing the benefits and costs of IT investments and initiatives in relation to the strategic objectives and priorities of the organization. One of the factors that can be used to measure business value is scalability, which is the ability of a system or component to handle increasing workloads or demands without compromising performance, quality, or functionality. Scalability is important for business value because it enables the organization to adapt to changing market conditions, customer expectations, and growth opportunities. Scalability can also reduce operational costs, increase efficiency, and improve customer satisfaction. Therefore, scalability is one of the factors that can be used in measuring business value.

Question 3
is the degree to which a system or component is operational and accessibility when required for use.
Options:
A.
Scalability
B.
Agility
C.
Reliability
D.
Availability
Answer:
D
Explanation:
Explanation:
Availability is the degree to which a system, product or component is operational and accessible when required for use. It is one of the attributes of reliability, which is the ability of a system or component to perform its required functions under stated conditions for a specified period of time. Availability can be calculated as the ratio of the expected value of the uptime (the time when the system is functional) to the total time (uptime plus downtime) of a system or component. Availability can also be influenced by factors such as maintainability, fault tolerance, redundancy, diagnostics, and logistics.
