strict adherence to specifications

separation of planning and design part

each individual maintains functional efficiency

work is properly planned and distributed

all the above.

[#]

3.

instructions by the executive engineers

construction measurements

issue of store equipments

names of the casual labour.

[#]

4.

Bar charts are suitable for

minor works

major works

large projects

all the Above.

[#]

5.

Critical path method

is an improvement upon bar chart method

provides a realistic approach to daily problems

avoids delays which are very common in bar charts

was invented by Morgan R. Walker of Dupot and James E. Kalley or Remington U.S.A. in 1957

All the above.

[#]

6.

Event

Node

Connector

All the above.

[#]

7.

Pick up the incorrect statement from the following:

An activity of a project is denoted by an arrow on the net work

The tail of the arrow indicates the start of the activity

The head of the arrow indicates the end of the activity

The arrows are drawn to scale from left to right

Each activity consumes a given time.

[#]

8.

If D is the duration, ES and EF are the earliest start and finish, LS and LF are latest start and latest finish time, then the following relation holds good

EF = ES + D

LS = LF - D

LF = LS + D

D = EF - ES

all the above.

[#]

9.

event

float

duration

constraint.

[#]

10.

Which one of the following represents an activity

excavation for foundation

curing of concrete

setting of question paper

preparation of breakfast

all the above.

[#]

11.

Critical path lies along the activities having total float

positive

negative

zero

same.

[#]

12.

The time which results in the least, possible construction cost of an activity, is known

normal time

slow time

crash time

standard time.

[#]

13.

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.

[#]

14.

heavy construction

industrial construction

none of these.

[#]

15.

Power stations are generally treated as

light construction

heavy construction

industrial construction

[#]

16.

A goiden rule for the procurement of construction stones, suggests

100% at the site

67% at the site and 33% under procurement

50% at the site and 50% under procurement

33% at the site and 67% under procurement

none of these.

[#]

17.

Pick up the incorrect statement from the following:

The various functions under each activity, are shown by one bar on Bar Charts

Bar chart establishes the interdependency of one event on another

Only approximate percentage of the completed work is reported

None of these,

[#]

18.

Which one of the following represents an event ?

concrete cured

fixing of door

plastering of walls

selecting sites

all the above.

[#]

19.

Pick up the correct statement from the following with regards to C.P.M. network analysis of projects

Earliest occurrence time of the event from which the activity arrow' originates, is called earliest start time of the activity

Earliest occurrence time of the event from which the activity arrow originates plus the duration of the activity, is called earliest finish time of the activity

The latest occurrence time of the node of which the activity arrow terminates minus the duration of the activity, is called latest start time

The latest occurrence time for the node at which the activity arrow terminates, is called latest finish time

All the above.

[#]

20.

If t is the duration of an activity, t₁ is the latest finish possible moment of its preceding activity and t₂ is the earliest start possible moment, the independent float of the activity is

(t₁ - t₂) - t

t - (t₁ - t₂)

(t₁ + t₂) - t

t + (t₁ - t₂)
