📊 GMAT Exam Prep

A company is deciding between three software solutions (Alpha, Beta, Gamma) and two deployment methods (Cloud, On-Premise). Each combination has a projected monthly cost and a security risk rating (1-10, where 1 is lowest risk). The data is as follows: * **Alpha-Cloud:** Cost $1,000, Risk 3 * **Alpha-On-Premise:** Cost $1,500, Risk 2 * **Beta-Cloud:** Cost $800, Risk 4 * **Beta-On-Premise:** Cost $1,200, Risk 3 * **Gamma-Cloud:** Cost $1,100, Risk 2 * **Gamma-On-Premise:** Cost $1,700, Risk 1 If the company prioritizes a security risk rating of 2 or lower, which deployment method should be chosen for the Alpha solution to meet this requirement?

A Cloud, as it has a lower cost.
B On-Premise, as it has a lower risk rating.
C Cloud, as it is the only option with a risk rating of 2 or lower.
D Neither, as Alpha solution cannot meet the security requirement.

✓ Correct Answer: Option B

For the Alpha solution, Alpha-Cloud has a Risk of 3, which does not meet the '2 or lower' requirement. Alpha-On-Premise has a Risk of 2, which meets the requirement.
