Question 1

Which of the following is/are advantages of item rate contract
A)Elasticity and fair to both the parties
B)Economical
C)Absence of uncertainties
D)All of the above

Accepted Answer

Item rate contracts offer flexibility (elasticity) and fairness to both parties involved, can be economical due to the payment for actual work done, and reduce uncertainties by specifying rates for items of work.

Question 2

Specialized work needs departmental execution
A)Right
B)Wrong
C)none
D)all

Accepted Answer

B

Question 3

Contract system is suitable for big projects
A)Right
B)Wrong
C)none
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
A)Right
B)Wrong
C)none
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
A)Parties must be competent
B)Should be made by free consent
C)There shall be definite and legal proposal and its acceptance.
D)Both Parties must be citizens of same country

Accepted Answer

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
A)Single time estimate
B)Probable time estimate
C)Triple time estimate
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
A)Single time estimate
B)Probable time estimate
C)Triple time estimate
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
A)Event oriented
B)Activity oriented
C)Mostly event oriented
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
A)Event oriented
B)Activity oriented
C)Mostly event oriented
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
A)An arrow
B)Circle
C)Triangle
D)None of the above

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 11

An activity requires
A)Events
B)Time and resources
C)Resources
D)Energy

Accepted Answer

An activity requires time and resources to be completed.

Question 12

Actual performance of a task is known as
A)An event
B)An activity
C)A duration
D)None of the above

Accepted Answer

An activity refers to the actual performance of a task, encompassing the work necessary to complete a specific task within a project.

Question 13

The earliest method of project planning was
A)CPM
B)PERT
C)Bar chart
D)Mile stone chart

Accepted Answer

The earliest method of project planning was the Bar chart, developed by Henry L. Gantt in the 1910s. This method predates other project planning techniques like CPM (Critical Path Method) and PERT (Program Evaluation and Review Technique).

Question 14

A drawback of bar chart is that
A)All the activities are independent
B)It is difficult to know whether activity is completed or not
C)The sequence of activity is not clearly defined
D)All of the above

Accepted Answer

The answer of A drawback of bar chart is that
A)All...

Question 15

A bar chart is drawn for
A)Time versus activity
B)Activity versus resources
C)Resources versus progress
D)Progress versus time

Accepted Answer

A bar chart is a graphical representation of data that uses bars to show the relationship between two or more variables. The bars can be either vertical or horizontal, and the length of each bar represents the value of the variable. In the case of a bar chart that shows time versus activity, the bars would be vertical and the length of each bar would represent the amount of time spent on a particular activity.

Question 16

Bar chart is also known as
A)Flow chart
B)Time chart
C)Travel chart
D)Gantt chart

Accepted Answer

A bar chart is also known as a Gantt chart, which is used to represent a project schedule.

Question 17

Bar chart is very popular because
A)It is very simple
B)Each activity is shown separately
C)Modification is easy
D)All of the above

Accepted Answer

The answer of Bar chart is very popular because
A)It is...

Question 18

Bar chart is suitable for
A)Large project
B)Major work
C)Minor work
D)All of these

Accepted Answer

Bar charts are typically used for minor work or smaller projects as they provide a simple visual representation of data, making it easy to compare different categories or track progress.
