Question 10

PERT analysis is based upon
A)Optimistic time
B)Pessimistic time
C)Most likely time
D)All of the above

Accepted Answer

PERT analysis incorporates optimistic time, pessimistic time, and most likely time to estimate the duration of a task or project, making it a comprehensive approach to project time estimation.

Question 11

The time activity consumes in most adverse conditions is
A)Optimistic time
B)Pessimistic time
C)Most likely time
D)All of the above

Accepted Answer

Pessimistic time is the time activity consumes in most adverse conditions.

Question 12

The time activity consumes in normal conditions is
A)Optimistic time
B)Pessimistic time
C)Most likely time
D)All of the above

Accepted Answer

The most likely time is the best estimate of the time required to complete an activity under normal conditions.

Question 13

The difference between the total float and free float is called
A)Duration
B)Interfering float
C)Critical activity
D)None of the above

Accepted Answer

Interfering float is the difference between the total float and the free float. Total float is the amount of time that a task in a project network can be delayed without causing a delay to the project completion date, whereas free float is the amount of time that a task can be delayed without delaying the early start date of any subsequent task. Interfering float, therefore, represents the portion of total float that causes a delay to the start of another task.

Question 14

The critical path is
A)The longest path of the network
B)The shortest path of the network
C)The average duration path of the network
D)None of the above

Accepted Answer

The critical path is the longest path through a project's schedule network diagram, determining the shortest time possible to complete the project.

Question 15

The float of critical activity is always
A)Maximum
B)Minimum
C)Zero
D)None of the above

Accepted Answer

The float of a critical activity is always zero because any delay in a critical activity will directly affect the project's completion time. Float, or slack, is the amount of time that a task in a project network can be delayed without causing a delay to subsequent tasks or the overall project. Since critical activities define the shortest time in which a project can be completed, they cannot afford any delay, hence their float is zero.

Question 16

A dummy activity in a network
A)Is represented by dotted line
B)Is an artificial activity
C)Does not consume time and resources
D)All of the above

Accepted Answer

A dummy activity in a network is represented by a dotted line, is an artificial activity, and does not consume time and resources, making all of the given options correct.

Question 17

Activity starts from
A)Head event
B)Tail event
C)Dual role event
D)None of the above

Accepted Answer

An activity in a network diagram typically starts from the tail event, which is the starting point of the activity.

Question 18

Which of the following is an activity
A)Excavation
B)Curing
C)Laying concrete
D)All of the above

Accepted Answer

All the options listed, A) Excavation, B) Curing, and C) Laying concrete, are activities involved in construction processes, making D) All of the above the correct answer.

Question 19

Earliest start time of activity equals to
A)TE of tail event of an activity
B)TE of head event of an activity
C)Average time of TE of tail event and head event
D)None of the above

Accepted Answer

The earliest start time of an activity is equal to the earliest finish time (TE) of its preceding activity, which is the tail event in a network diagram.

Question 20

................is provided to safeguard scaffolding against overturning.
A)Standards
B)Inclined rackers
C)Put-logs
D)Rails

Accepted Answer

Inclined rakers are used to provide lateral support to scaffolding, helping to prevent it from overturning. They are angled braces that connect the scaffold to the ground or another solid structure, enhancing stability.
