Question 1

Calculate the reliability over a 20h mission for the system whose reliability block diagram is
shown in Figure above.
The components fail randomly with the following failure rate,

Component Failure rate,

A
0.015

B 0.020

C 0.025
 Question 2

A system has been designed such that its reliability at TWENTY(20) hours should be at
least 95.5%.
The system consists of a number, K, of identical sub-systems connected in parallel.
Each sub-system has four components A, B, C and D connected in series.
The components fail randomly with the following failure rate,
Find the value of K.

Component Failure rate,

A
0.010

B 0.015

C 0.020

D 0.025
