Hi,

could someone explain me the answer of this question?

Q: One of the process models in your application takes 6 days to complete. You are considering reducing the days until a process
archives after completion from 4 to 2. What percent of memory reduction for this process model would you expect to see after
this change?

A: 20%

it is around 33% of memory reduction will happen

The correct answer is 20% but I don't know why. I thought 33% too.

Where is this question from? It makes no sense because it talks about two different parts of the process lifecycle. Active time and completed time. Changing the days before archive does not in any way change the time it takes to complete.

Hi, I think the reasoning could be something like that:
the process occupies memory for 6 + 4 days = 10 days. Reducing the archiving time by 2 days means affecting by 2/10 that is 20%. What do you think?

If the memory occupied by an instance process is the same as an archived process, yes. I think you are right. Thanks
