Questions and Answers

1.

Which of the following is not a source technical information?
- A.
  
  FAQs
- B.
  
  Manufacturer's websites
- C.
  
  Manual on a disk
- D.
  
  Facebook
Correct Answer
D. Facebook

Explanation
Facebook is not a source of technical information because it is a social networking platform where people connect and share personal experiences, opinions, and content. While there may be some technical information shared on Facebook, it is not a reliable or authoritative source for technical information. On the other hand, FAQs, manufacturer's websites, and manuals on a disk are all commonly used sources of technical information as they provide accurate and specific details about products, services, or processes.

Explanation
Technical FAQ and discussion forum sites can be difficult to get good information from because they often contain uninformed comments.

By accessing different sources of information, the troubleshooter can make an informed decision about the cause of the problem and develop an appropriate solution.
