1. Events are represented by nodes. 12. Assertion (A): A Dummy is an activity in the network.
(a) True (b) False Reason (R): A Dummy is a representation in the
network requiring neither time nor resources.
2. Nodes represent events. (a) Both A and R are true and R is correct explanation
(a) True (b) False of A
(b) Both A and R are true, but R is not a correct
3. Length of arrow in a network diagram has certain explanation of A
significance. (c) A is true but R is false
(a) True (b) False (d) A is false but R is true

4. If activities are represented by nodes and their 13. Assertion (A) : A ‘dummy’ job is assigned ‘zero’ time
precedence relationship with the help of arrows then to perform.
network diagram is called as ___________. Reason (R) : It is used mainly to specify precedence
relationship.
5. Concurrent activities are mutually independent and can (a) Both A and R are true and R is correct explanation
be possibly taken up simultaneously. of A
(a) True (b) False (b) Both A and R are true, but R is not a correct
explanation of A
6. Activities are identified by tail & head event. (c) A is true but R is false
(a) True (b) False (d) A is false but R is true

7. Events other than initial and final events are called as 14. Dummy activity must be artificially introduced in every
____________. network.
(a) True (b) False
8. When more than one activity is entering into the node
then it is called as ____________ 15. Dummy is represented by dotted arrow.
(a) True (b) False
9. Initial event must be burst event.
(a) True (b) False 16. Number of errors in A-O-A network (shown below) is
____________.

not be in an increasing order in the activity progress
sequence.
(a) True (b) False

11. Dummy is also called as zero time activity.

(a) True (b) False

17. There are 3 parallel paths in a part of a network between 25. Number of dummies in the network diagram should be
a bursting node and the next merging node with only one ________.
activity in each path. Minimum number of dummy (a) Maximum (b) Minimum
required will be ___________.
26. Assertion (A): Two or more arrows should not be used
18. Dummy keeps numbering system unique. for single activity also two or more activities should not
(a) True (b) False be represented by single arrow.
Reason (R): Number of arrow should be equal to
19. Any two events can be directly connected by not more number of activities.
than one activity. (a) Both A and R are true and R is correct explanation
(a) True (b) False of A
(b) Both A and R are true, but R is not a correct
20. Assertion (A): If events are added or removed then explanation of A
there will be no change in resource or time required for (c) A is true but R is false

Reason (R): If activities are added or removed then time
and resources required for project will change. 27. Direction of arrows can be vertically upward, downward
