,1.A company wants to reduce its IT support costs without sacrificing service quality.
Which KPI would be most helpful in identifying potential cost-saving areas while
maintaining service standards?
A. Average handle time per ticket
B. Total number of tickets received per month
C. Ratio of escalated versus resolved tickets
D. Cost per ticket
Answer: D
Explanation:
The cost per ticket KPI is essential for identifying how much is being spent per issue
handled. This KPI helps in pinpointing inefficiencies in the support process and areas
where resources may be optimized without compromising service quality.
Option A is incorrect because while average handle time provides efficiency insights,
s
er
it does not directly relate to cost management.
w

Option B is incorrect as the total number of tickets does not provide direct insights into
A
cost efficiency or areas for cost reduction.

Monitoring the average resolution time for support tickets after a merger is crucial as it
o
provides direct insights into whether the merger has affected the help desk’s ability to
c
is
C
resolve issues efficiently. An increase in resolution time might indicate integration
issues or increased complexity in IT support demands.
Option A is incorrect because a mere change in the number of tickets does not
directly indicate performance quality; it could merely reflect increased demand or
broader service scope.
Option B is incorrect as employee turnover gives insights into staff satisfaction and
stability but not direct help desk performance.
Option D is incorrect because the percentage of the IT budget spent on help desk
operations reflects financial management rather than operational effectiveness.

network drive?
A. Internet Information Services (IIS)

Option B is incorrect as FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is generally used for transferring

services.
5.What is the primary purpose of the gpupdate command in a Windows environment?
A. To update the system's time with the network time protocol
B. To reinstall the operating system
C. To refresh Group Policy settings immediately

protocol is handled by the w32tm or similar commands.
Option B is incorrect as reinstalling the operating system is not a function of
gpupdate.
Option D is incorrect because checking the disk space is typically done with the
diskpart or chkdsk commands.
