C5,000 requests per minute

D20,000 requests per minute

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

If 40% of traffic equals 5,000 requests, total traffic = 5,000 / 0.4 = 12,500 requests per minute.
Step 2: Confirm capacity limits
At 12,500 total, new services handle 5,000, matching capacity.
Final Answer:
12,500 requests per minute -> Option A
Quick Check:
Total traffic = new capacity / 0.4 = C [OK]

Quick Trick: Divide new service capacity by traffic percent [OK]

Common Mistakes:

Multiplying instead of dividing
