Question 1

Assertion (A): Generally PERT is preferred over CPM for the purpose of project evaluation.
Reason (R): PERT is based on the approach of multiple time estimates for each activity.

• Aboth A and R are true and R is correct explanation of A
• Bboth A and R are true but R is not a correct explanation of A
• CA is true but R is false
• DA is false but R is true

Question 2

A project consists of 8 activities as shown in the table. The project duration is

• A13
• B14
• C15
• D16

Question 3

In a CPM network the activity is non critical if

• AEST > LST and EFT > LFT
• BEST < LST and EFT < LFT
• CEST = LST and EFT < LFT
• DEST < LST and EFT = LFT
  (E=Earliest, S=Slack, F=Float, L=Latest, T=Time)

Question 4

In critical path method of project planning, free float (FF) can be

• AGreater than total float (TF)
• BGreater than equal to independent float (IF)
• CLess than independent float (IF)
• DEqual to total float (TF) at all times

Question 5

The difference between PERT and CPM is that

• APERT uses probabilistic methodologies of activity duration but CPM does not
• BPERT allows crashing but CPM does not.
• CPERT uses dummy activities but CPM does not.
• DNone of the above.
