An administrator configured a Symptom with a Wait Cycle of 3 and a Cancel Cycle of 2. The default cycle was not changed. How many minutes will it take for both to be triggered?

Question

Options

• AWait: 15 minutes, Cancel: 15 minutes
• BWait: 15 minutes, Cancel: 20 minutes
• CWait: 15 minutes, Cancel: 10 minutes
• DWait: 20 minutes, Cancel: 15 minutes

• A
  2% (1)
• B
  12% (5)
• C
  79% (33)
• D
  7% (3)

Explanation

Option C is correct because the default cycle duration in this context is 5 minutes, so you simply multiply each cycle count by 5: a Wait Cycle of 3 × 5 = 15 minutes, and a Cancel Cycle of 2 × 5 = 10 minutes.

Why the distractors fail:

• A (Wait: 15, Cancel: 15) incorrectly applies 3 cycles to both, ignoring that Cancel was set to 2.
• B (Wait: 15, Cancel: 20) inflates the Cancel time as if Cancel = 4 cycles, which is wrong.
• D (Wait: 20, Cancel: 15) swaps the logic - it treats Wait as 4 cycles and Cancel as 3, the opposite of what was configured.

Memory tip: Think "5 is the default cycle minute value." Just multiply - Wait × 5, Cancel × 5. If you see mismatched numbers in the answer choices, the distractor is likely applying the wrong cycle count to the wrong trigger.
