Wrong&#10;

Question 3

Contract system is suitable for big projects&#10;A)Right&#10;B)Wrong&#10;C)none&#10;D)all

Accepted Answer

The contract system is indeed suitable for big projects because it allows for the detailed specification of work, timelines, and costs, which are essential for managing large-scale projects efficiently.

Question 4

Departmental execution is suitable for small jobs&#10;A)Right&#10;B)Wrong&#10;C)none&#10;D)all

Accepted Answer

Departmental execution refers to the organization of work into departments where each focuses on a specific type of task or project. This approach is more suitable for larger jobs or projects that can be divided into distinct categories or departments, rather than small jobs which might be more efficiently handled by a more agile or flexible structure.

Question 5

Which of the following is not essential requirement for contract&#10;A)Parties must be competent&#10;B)Should be made by free consent&#10;C)There shall be definite and legal proposal and its acceptance.&#10;D)Both Parties must be citizens of same country

The essential elements for a contract include competence of parties, free consent, and a legal proposal and its acceptance. The citizenship of the parties is not a requirement for a contract to be valid, making option D the correct answer.

Question 6

PERT requires&#10;A)Single time estimate&#10;B)Probable time estimate&#10;C)Triple time estimate&#10;D)None of the above

Accepted Answer

PERT (Program Evaluation and Review Technique) requires a triple time estimate for each task: the optimistic time, the most likely time, and the pessimistic time. This approach helps in accounting for uncertainty in project scheduling.

Question 7

CPM requires&#10;A)Single time estimate&#10;B)Probable time estimate&#10;C)Triple time estimate&#10;D)None of the above

Accepted Answer

CPM (Critical Path Method) requires a single time estimate for each activity to calculate the project schedule.

Question 8

CPM is&#10;A)Event oriented&#10;B)Activity oriented&#10;C)Mostly event oriented&#10;D)Mostly activity oriented

Accepted Answer

CPM (Critical Path Method) is activity oriented as it focuses on the sequence and duration of project activities to determine the critical path.

Question 9

PERT is&#10;A)Event oriented&#10;B)Activity oriented&#10;C)Mostly event oriented&#10;D)Mostly activity oriented

Accepted Answer

PERT (Program Evaluation and Review Technique) is event oriented because it focuses on the milestones and significant events that mark the completion of different phases or activities within a project.

Question 10

An activity is represented by&#10;A)An arrow&#10;B)Circle&#10;C)Triangle&#10;D)None of the above

An activity in project management and process modeling is often represented by an arrow. This notation is commonly used in network diagrams such as the Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) and Critical Path Method (CPM), where activities are depicted as arrows and events or milestones as nodes or circles.
