- 2.Which of the following statements is not correct
- A.
PERT is probabilistic in nature.
- B.
CPM is probabilistic in nature.
- C.
CPM and PERT use similar terminology but were developed independently
- D.
.All of these statements are correct
- 3.
- A.
A project is a set of activities that can be performed in a certain logical sequence.
- B.
A network is a graphic portrayal of independency relationship among the activities of a project.
- C.
An arrow representing an activity can have any length and shape.
- D.
An activity cannot be represented by more than one arrow but an arrow can represent one or more activities.
- 4.
- A.
Each defined activity is represented by one and only one arrow.
- B.
A network should have only initial and one terminal node.
- C.
Identical initial and final nodes can identify two activities.
- D.
Only as few dummy activities should be included as is warranted.
- 5.
- A.
Forward pass calculations yield the earliest and the latest start and finish times of various activities.
- B.
The difference between the latest and the earliest finish times is the total slack
- C.
Backward pass determines the latest start and the latest finish
- D.
Determination of the earliest and the latest start time of various activities of a project is useful for proper planning of their execution.
- 6.
- A.
All activities on a critical path are critical activities.
- B.
A project network may have none, one, or more critical paths.
- C.
A delay in critical activity surely delays the completion of project.
- D.
Each critical activity has identical earliest and the latest start times.
- 7.Which of the following is not correct in respect of PERT calculations?
- A.
Expected time of an activity is a weighted average of three times estimates, a, m, and b with respective weights of 1, 4, and 1.
- B.
The target time minus the expected time divided by standard deviation is the z value
- C.
The completion of project using PERT method follows normal distribution
- D.
The sum total of variances of critical activity times gives the variance of the overall project completion time.
- 8.Given, expected duration of project = 47 days, variance = 9 days. What is the probability of not completing the project in 50 days? Z : 0.33 1.0Area : 0.1293 0.3413
- A.
0.6293
- B.
0.8413
- C.
0.1587
- D.

- B.
0.6826
- C.
0.2586
- D.
0.3174
- 10.Mark the wrong statement.
- A.
An event that represents the initiation of more than one activity is called the burst event.
- B.
The longest path of a given project gives the maximum duration while its shortest path indicates the shortest duration.
- C.
The resource allocation programmes aim to allocate the given resources in a manner that the project completes in minimum time.
- D.
A non-critical activity may or may not have any free float.
