Solution

Correct Answer: (ii) MTBF

Explanation

Reliability metrics:

  • MTBF = Mean Time Between Failures = MTTF + MTTR → overall reliability measure. Larger MTBF = more reliable.
  • MTTF = Mean Time To Failure (for non-repairable)
  • MTTR = Mean Time To Repair
  • ROCOF = Rate of Occurrence of Failures

Hence measure of reliability is given by MTBF (and also MTTF/ROCOF variants). Mean time between success and mean reliable are not standard terms.

Answer: (ii) MTBF
