Step-by-Step Analysis
We are asked to choose the correct network diagram that matches the given activity precedence table for the project. First, recall the predecessor relationships from the table: A has no predecessor, B depends on A, C depends on A, D depends on B and C, E depends on D, F depends on E, and G depends on E. The project starts at Start and finishes at Finish, with A through G arranged as circles and arrows showing the flow. Option A: In this diagram, A is reached from Start, B depe......Login to view full explanation

Question16 Which sequence of activities forms the critical path for the following project activities.Select one alternative: Start>B>D>E>H>End Start>B>C>D>E>F>G>H>I>End Start>C>F>G>I>End Start>B>C>F>G>H>I>End ResetMaximum marks: 2

Question15 You are manager of a project and after a periodic project schedule update, the scheduler working on your team comes to you with the following list of activities. He also mentions that the project is faced with 2 weeks of delay and as a corrective action he proposes to change the sequence and perform activity H concurrent with activity G, instead of after it. What would be your reaction?Select one alternative: It might affect activity I, so reject the proposal This does not have any effect on the critical path, so reject the proposal This will help all of the delay to be recovered, so accept the proposal This will help you spend less resources, so accept the proposal ResetMaximum marks: 2

Question12 How can free float be used to shorten a project schedule?Select one alternative: By delaying the tasks with free float. By finishing the tasks with free floats sooner. By assigning free floats to the tasks in critical path to put the pressure off from resources. By reallocating resources from non-critical task with free float to the concurrent tasks in critical path. ResetMaximum marks: 2
