Linux Essentials (010-160) — Question 75

Which permissions are set on a regular file once the permissions have been modified with the command chmod 654 file.txt?

Answer options

• A. drw-r-xr--
• B. d-wxr-x--
• C. -wxr-x--x
• D. -rwxrw---x
• E. -rw-r-xr--

Correct answer: E

Explanation

The command chmod 654 sets the owner's permissions to read and write, the group's permissions to read and execute, and others to no permissions. Therefore, the correct option E (-rw-r-xr--) accurately represents these permissions, while the other options either add or remove permissions incorrectly.
