Question

If your current working directory is /home/alice/Documents/Financial, and you want to change it to /home/alice, you can use this command:

a.

cd ..

b.

cd ../alice

c.

cd /alice

d.

cd ../../

Answer 1

Solution:

(D) cd ../ ../

Reason:

.. represents parent directory, so writing ../.. moves the current working directory two times up the hierarchy which would be /home/alice

Other option is not true, reason for other options:

a. cd .. will change the current directory to /home/alice/Documents

b. cd ../alice will make the current directory as /home/alice/Documents/alice which might be an invalid path

c. cd /alice will change the current directory to /home/alice/Documents/Financial/alice which might be an invalid path
