Explanation- Project completion time for the network will be critical path of the
network
9. 8
Explanation-It is the earliest time by which the activity can commence.
10. C
DETAILED SOLUTION OF ASSIGNMENT 3
1. Correct Answer: 20
Week Activities Resource load
9th A 6
11th A+B 6+4 = 10
13th A+B+D 10+7=17
15th A+B+C+D 17+3=20
The maximum total resource load in any week will be 20
2. Correct Answer: A
Minimum cost for normal duration for all activities = 800 + 1200 + 500 = 2500 units
Maximum cost for crashed duration for all activities = 1000 + 1500 + 900 = 3400
units
3. Correct Answer: D
Crashing reduces duration and therefore indirect cost decreases while direct cost
increases
5. Correct Answer: C
The optimum duration in the crashing of activities will correspond to minimum total
cost (direct + indirect) of project completion.
7. Correct Answer: B
8. Correct Answer: C
9. Correct Answer: A
10. Correct Answer: 21
NETWORK ANALYSIS FOR MINES AND MINERAL ENGIENERING
ASSIGNMENT -4
SOLUTIONS
1. A
2. Correct answer: D
𝑡1 +𝑡2 +⋯………………..+𝑡𝑛
tm = 𝑛
Deviation S can be given as S = t- tm
Σ ( 𝑡−𝑡𝑚 )2
Variance σ2 = 𝑛
Standard deviation σ = √𝜎 2
(𝑡−𝑡𝑚 )2
σ=√ 𝑛
3. Correct answer: 9
Given.,
to = 5 days
tP = 17 days
tM = 8 days
We know, the expected time can be given as
𝑡𝑜 +4𝑡𝑚 +𝑡𝑝
te = 6
5+4x8+17
te = 6
5+32+17
= 6
= 54/6
= 9 days
4. Correct answer: B
Contractor whose variance is less is more certain about completing the job. For, problem
related with PERT, variance can be given as
𝑡𝑝− 𝑡𝑜 2
𝜎2 = ( )
6
So, for each contractor we will calculate variance
Contractor 𝑡𝑝− 𝑡𝑜 2
Variance 𝜎 2 = ( )
6
P 1.778
Q 1
R 2.25
S 2.25
Contractor Q is more certain as its variance is minimum
5. Correct answer : B
Normal probability distribution is used for calculating the project completion time with
the desired probability
6. Correct answer : D
Mean duration = T
Standard deviation = K
Number of executive activities = 4
Project duration will be 4T as there are four activities in series but overall project
duration will be 4T ± 3σ
Σ K for entire project = √4𝑘 2 = 2k
Overall project duration = 4T ± 6K
7. Correct answer: D
𝑡𝑜 + 4𝑡𝑚 +𝑡𝑝
te = 6
∑te = 37.50
𝑡𝑝−𝑡𝑜
σ=( )
6
σ = √0.5𝑥0.5 + 1𝑥1 + 0.66𝑥0.66 + 1𝑥1
= 1.6387
Probable range of total duration = te ± 3σ
= 37.5 ± 3 x 1.6387
= 37.5 ± 4.9161
= 42.161 or 32.5839
= (42.40), (32.60)
8. Correct answer: C
Project length = 60
Variance = 3 weeks
Probability factor = 1.647
No of weeks required to complete the project =
We know,
𝑇𝑆 −𝑇𝑒
Z= 𝜎
Where,
Z = probability factor
Ts = scheduled completion time
TE = Expected completion time
𝑇𝑠−60
1.647 = ( )
3
Ts = 64.94
