Question 44

If the HIM Department has purchased 100 unites of 8-shelf files and plans to use the terminal digit filing system, how many shelves should be allocated to each primary number?

    Correct Answer: D

    The terminal digit filing system divides records based on the last two digits of the file number, creating 100 unique primary numbers ranging from 00 to 99. Since there are 100 units of 8-shelf files, and to efficiently accommodate the filing system, each primary number must occupy one shelf. Therefore, all 100 shelves must be allocated to 100 primary numbers, one shelf per primary number.
