Exam 010-160 topic 1 question 38 discussion

A is the correct answer. From the directory /home/user/Downloads/ ../Documents is /home/user/Documents

Shouldn't be A the right answer to this?

Should be A

The ls command is used to list the contents of a directory. When run with the argument ../Documents/, it will list the contents of the Documents directory that is located one level up from the current directory /home/user/Downloads/. Therefore, if the Documents directory exists in /home/user/, then option A, /home/user/Documents/, is the correct answer.

A is the correct answer.

A is definitely the right answer

A is correct. The ".." changes into the child directory (i.e. /home/user), so "../Documents/" would list the contents of the /home/user/Documents directory.

A is correct

I tested this on my own VPS and the option A is the correct one.

A is the right answer. .. = means go one folder back

Did the Exam today, picked A and got 100%.

It seems to be an almost interpretive question. Looking at strict notation the "/Documents/", D, answer would indicate a root level directory called "Documents" as there are NO preceding characters indicating it is a subdirectory. Like missing context in a text message.

A is correct

So this is a dumb question, really. /home/user/Documents and /Documents/ (assuming its a directory in the same location one up from /Downloads/) is the same location, no doubt about it. However, the question asks about a directory's contents specifically. Technically, A. is a path, not a directory. D would be right if we take this into consideration, but in real life A and D would get you what you wanted.

A is the correct answer.

A is the correct answer.

A is correct.
