A construction project consists of twelve activities. The estimated duration (in days) required to complete each of the activities along with the corresponding network diagram is shown below. Activity Duration (days) Activity Duration (days) A Inauguration 1 G Flooring 25 B Foundation work 7 H Electrification 7 C Structural construction - 1 30 I Plumbing 7 D Structural construction - 2 30 J Woodwork 7 E Brick masonry work 25 K Coloring 3 F Plastering 7 L Handing over function 1   Total floats (in days) for the activities 5-7 and 11-12 for the project are, respectively: Correct Answer 0 and 0

Explanation:

Total float can be determined once the activity times i.e. EST, EFT, LST, and LFT are known. Total float

FT = LST – EST= LFT – EFT

For activity 5 – 7,

EST = 38

EFT = 63

LFT = 63

LST = 38

FT = LST – EST = 38 - 38 = 0

For activity 11 – 12,

EST = 80

EFT = 81

LFT = 81

LST = 80

FT = LST – EST = 80 - 80 = 0

In a school, a Science project has been assigned to three students Rajat, Rohan, and Bishal and it was told that they should work together on that project. Working alone Rohan can finish the project in 20 days, it is also given that if Rajat and Bishal work on the project they will take 9 days to complete the project. Bishal alone can complete the project in 15 days. Rohan started working on the project from Monday but after 8 days he left and after that Rajat and Bishal started working on it but Bishal also left 6 days before completion of the work and Rajat completed the remaining project, in how many days will the project be completed and on which day will it be completed?
Given below are two quantities named A and B. Based on the given information, you have to determine the relation between the two quantities. You should use the given data and your knowledge of Mathematics to choose between the possible answers. Quantity A: M and N can complete the work in 10 and 20 days respectively. They started doing work together but after 4 days M left the work. In what time N can complete the remaining work? Quantity B: A and B can together complete the work in 12 days. A alone can complete the work in 30 days. If B works for first 4 days alone and then A joins the work, in how many days remaining work will be complete?

The following question, there are three statements I, II and III. Read the question carefully and mark your answer according to which statements(s) is/are sufficient to the answer the question. Find the total cost of flooring a room? Statement I: The length of the room is 70% more than the breadth of the room Statement II: The cost of flooring some other room whose length is twice the length of the given room and breadth is one third of the breadth of the given room is Rs.3000 less than the cost of flooring of given room Statement III: The perimeter of the room is 90 m and cost of flooring is Rs. 20 per m2
Statement (I): Crashing of project duration always increases the cost of the project on its completion, no matter what the indirect, or overhead, costs are. Statement (II): The critical path along the project activities network diagram is compressed in the process of investigating the crashing of the project duration, and not the non-critical activities, up to a certain stage of crashing. 
Each of the question below consists of a question and three statements number I, II and III given below it. You have to decide whether the data provided in the statement are sufficient to answer the question. Two person X and Y together can make 25% of total number of bricks in 4.8 days. Another person Z can make 50 bricks in a day. What is the time taken by person X and Z together to make the total number of bricks? I. Dimensions of a brick is (3cm × 4cm × 5cm) while the dimension of a cuboids when all the bricks are put together is (72cm × 80cm × 50cm) and ratio of number of days taken by X and Y alone to make the total number of bricks is 3 : 2. II. The total number of bricks is 4800 and person Y can make 150 bricks in day. III. Total volume of all the bricks together is 1.008m3 and dimension of a bricks is (5cm × 6cm × 7cm) and time taken by Z to make total number of bricks is 200 % more than the total time taken by person Y to make total number of bricks.
A contractor undertook a project to complete it in 20 days which needed 5 workers to work continuously for all the days estimated. But before the start of the work the client wanted to complete it earlier than the scheduled time, so the contractor calculated that he needed to increase 5 additional men every 2 days to complete the work in the time the client wanted it: If the work was further increased by 50% but the contractor continues to increase the 5 workers o every 2 days then how many more days are required over the initial time specified by the client.
