Sr. No. Question CO Number
1. The network of a certain project is shown with the estimated durations of various CO1
activities. Determine the following: CO2
a) Earliest event time and latest event time.
b) Earliest and latest start and finish times of an activity.
c) Total and free floats for each activity.
d) Critical path for the network

2. What is milestone chart? How does it differ from bar chart? CO1
CO3
3. Elucidate the use of PERT and CPM in project management. Support your answer CO1
with a suitable example CO4
CO5
4. Draw a network diagram for the project having 9 activities, with the
following inter-relationships:
i. C follows D but precedes F
ii. C follows B But precedes H
iii. G follows F But precedes I
iv. E follows A But precedes I
v. D follows A
vi. H and I terminate at the same time
vii. A and B start at the same time
5. The activity breakdown for a certain project is as under
Activity No. Duration(weeks)
1 1
2 2
3 4
4 3
5 1
6 2
7 4

Activity 2 and 3 can be done concurrently and both must follow activity1.
Activity 2 must precede activity 4. Activity 5 cannot begin until both
activities 2 and 3 are completed. Activity 6 can be started only after
activities 4 and 5 are complete. Activity 7 is the last activity which can be
started only after completion of activity 5. Prepare the network diagram
of the Project.
