  • Dummy
  • Event
  • Activity
  • Contract.
Q.15

Pick up the PERT event from the following:

  • Digging of foundation started
  • Digging of foundation completed
  • Laying of concrete started
  • Laying of concrete completed
  • All the above.
Q.16

The estimated time required to perform an activity, is known as

  • event
  • dummy
  • duration
  • float.
Q.17

Pick up the incorrect statement from the following:

  • The activity is the time consuming part of a project
  • The beginning and end of a job, are called events
  • The activity which consumes maximum time, is called a node
  • Logically and sequentially connected activities and events form a network
  • None of these.
Q.18

Pick up the correct statement from the following:

  • The float may be positive, zero or negative
  • If the float is positive and the activity is delayed by a period equal to its total float, the completion of project is not delayed
  • If the float of an activity is negative, delay in its performance is bound to delay the completion of project
  • If the float of an activity is zero, the activity is critical and any delay in its performance will delay the whole project
