    Thanks tamerj1  for your time and effort to get this calculation correct. 

    What I discovered later is that the problem was not with the DAX witten by me. I was making use of column 'Hours of Operational Use' from wrong table which was causing this problem. After changing the table, the same DAX started giving the correct output. Please see below snapshot. 

    But I must admit that your modified DAX version is simple and easy to understand.

    Thanks Again for your quick help. Much appreciated. Cheers.

vTotalUptime =
VAR _selected_value =

VAR _totaldaysinperiod =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( Sheet3[vTotalDaysInPeriod] )
VAR _businessdaysinperiod =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( Sheet3[vBusinessDaysInPeriod] )
VAR _factor_hours_9 = 9
VAR _factor_hours_13 = 13
VAR _factor_hours_24 = 24
VAR _factor_minutes = 60
RETURN
    IF (
        _selected_value = "24x7",
        _totaldaysinperiod * _factor_hours_24 * _factor_minutes,
        IF (
            _selected_value = "Business Hours",
            _businessdaysinperiod * _factor_hours_9 * _factor_minutes,
            IF (
                _selected_value = "Extended Hours - 7 days",
                _totaldaysinperiod * _factor_hours_13 * _factor_minutes,
                IF (
                    _selected_value = "Extended Hours - 5 days",
                    _businessdaysinperiod * _factor_hours_13 * _factor_minutes
                )
