3. (c) How will you decide whether a new project is feasible or not? [07]

OR

1. (a) What are the objectives of using network analysis? [03]

3. (c) What care one should take for better drawing of network diagrams? [07]

OR

1. (a) A project consists of 8 activities A,B,C,D,E,F,G and H with their time of completions as follows: [03]

   Activities	A	B	C	D	E	F	G	H
   Duration (weeks)	3	5	2	4	7	5	6	4

   The precedence relationships are as follows:
   • A and B can be performed in parallel.
   • C and D cannot start until A is complete.
   • E cannot start until half the work of activity C is complete.

   • F can start only after activity D is complete.
   • G succeeds C.
   • H is the last activity which should succeed E
   (i) Draw the bar chart. (ii) What is the total time of completion of the project ?
2. (b) What is difference between an ‘Event’ and an ‘Activity’? [04]

--- Content provided by​ FirstRanker.com ---

3. (c) What is dummy activity and why is it used ? [07]

Q.3

1. (a) Consider the data of a software project as shown in table given below. The activities are different modules of the software application, which is to be developed. Construct a network of this software project. [03]

   Activities	A	B	C	D	E	F	G	H	I	J
   Immediate Predecessor	-	A	A	A	D	D	J	E	F,G	H

2. (b) What is CPM? State the application of it. [04]
3. (c) Distinguish between Total Float and Free Float of an activity. [07]

OR

1. (a) Draw the network for the following project and compute the earliest and latest time for each event and also find critical path. [03]

   Activity	Immediate Predecessor	Time
   1-2	-	7
   1-3	-	6
   1-3	-
   2-3	1-3
   2-4 & 3-4	-	5
   4-5	-	8
   4-6	-	4
   6-7 & 5-7	-	11

2. (b) What is PERT? State the application of it. [04]
3. (c) What is meant by project direct and project indirect costs ? Explain their importance. [07]

Q.4

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---

1. (a) Consider the details of a project which has 10 activities as shown in following table: [03]

   Activities	A	B	C	D	E	F	G	H	I	J
   Immediate Predecessor(s)	-	-	-	-	B	E	C	A,F	E	D,G
   Duration in months	6	10	11	9	5	8	12	8	7	4

   (i) Draw the network of the project. (ii) Perform CPM calculations and find the critical path and corresponding project completion time.

Q.5

1. (a) Discuss in brief the resources allocation problem. [03]
2. (b) DIC is considered to be a single window service organization for small entrepreneurs. - Describe in detail [04]
3. (c) From the information given below, draw the PERT network : [07]

   Activity	Optimistic	Most Likely	Pessimistic
   10-20	5	9	17
   10-30	4	8	16
   20-40	3	7	20
   30-40	3	7	15
   40-50	3	10	21
   20-50	3	7	12
   30-50	2	5	9

   Determine the critical path, its duration, earliest and latest allowable occurance time and slacks of all events. Also determine the probability of completing the project in (i)30-days and (ii) 35 days. Given for Z= -1.066, Pr =14.35

OR

1. (a) What is Updating of a network ? [03]
2. (b) What are the components of cost of projects? Discuss them in detail. [04]
3. (c) Based on the data given below, determine the optimum duration of the project and the corresponding minimum cost. [07]

   Activity	Normal		Crash
   	Duration (week)	Cost (Rs.)	Duration (week)	Cost (Rs.)
   1-2	6	8000	3	15500
   1-3	8	5000	5	9500
   2-3	4	7000	1	10000
   2-4	5	9000	3	16000
   3-4	5	6000	3	12000

   The indirect cost of the project is Rs. 5000 per week. Draw the time-scaled version of network at each step of crashing.
