A new project is designed where activity time is uncertain.

Which method can be used to find

expected completion time?

PERT

CPM

Both PERT and CPM can be used

Insufficient information to decide

If late start, early finish and activity duration is 5, 8 and 4 days respectively, What will be
independent float?

-1

None of the above

If early start, early finish and activity duration is 5, 8 and 2 days respectively, What will be free float?

-1

None of the above

For the last node in the CPM, which of the following is true?

Early Start > Late start

Early Start < Late start

Early start = Late start

Early start + Late start = Project duration

C
If Optimistic and pessimistic time for an activity is 10 hrs and 13 hrs, Variance of this activity will be:

0.5

0.25

If Optimistic and pessimistic time for an activity is 10 hrs and 14 hrs, Expected time of this activity
will be:

12 hrs

0.66 hrs

4 hrs

Insufficient information

Which of the following can’t be true for a PERT problem?

Optimistic and pessimistic time for an activity is 10 hrs and 10 hrs respectively

Optimistic and pessimistic time for an activity is 10 hrs and 12 hrs respectively

Optimistic and pessimistic time for an activity is 12 hrs and 10 hrs respectively

Option A & C

In PERT, Total SD is calculated as:

Sum of (SD of critical activities)

Square root of (sum of variance of critical activities)

Sum of (square root of SD of critical activities)

None of the above

B
What can be true for a PERT problem?

Actual completion time > Expected project completion time

Actual completion time < Expected project completion time

Actual completion time = Expected project completion time

All of the above

What can be true for a CPM problem?

Multiple critical paths might be present

No critical path might be present

Project completion time can be more than the calculated completion time

None of the above is possible
