Q: 4
You have a failover cluster named Cluster1 that has the following configurations:
Number of nodes: 6
Quorum: Dynamic quorum
Witness: File share, Dynamic witness
What is the maximum number of nodes that can fail simultaneously while maintaining quorum?

Yeah, I'm going with C. With six nodes and the file share witness, you've got seven votes in the cluster. You need a majority which means four votes online, so losing three nodes still keeps you above quorum. If more than that fail at once, you can't keep quorum. Pretty sure that's it but open to debate if anyone disagrees.
Option C but this sort of question keeps changing each exam version. MS loves quorum tricks.
A is wrong, C. Saw similar numbers in the official guide and some practice tests.
Its C. But if the file share witness goes down first, you could actually lose just 2 nodes before losing quorum, right?
