The normal time required for the completion of project in the above problem is
A. 9 days
B. 13 days
C. 14 days
D. 19 days
A. $$\frac{{{{\text{t}}_{\text{o}}} + 3{{\text{t}}_{\text{m}}} + {{\text{t}}_{\text{p}}}}}{2}$$
B. $$\frac{{{{\text{t}}_{\text{o}}} + 3{{\text{t}}_{\text{m}}} + {{\text{t}}_{\text{p}}}}}{3}$$
C. $$\frac{{{{\text{t}}_{\text{o}}} + 4{{\text{t}}_{\text{m}}} + {{\text{t}}_{\text{p}}}}}{4}$$
D. $$\frac{{{{\text{t}}_{\text{o}}} + 4{{\text{t}}_{\text{m}}} + {{\text{t}}_{\text{p}}}}}{5}$$
E. $$\frac{{{{\text{t}}_{\text{o}}} + 4{{\text{t}}_{\text{m}}} + {{\text{t}}_{\text{p}}}}}{6}$$
A construction schedule is prepared after collecting
A. Number of operations
B. Output of labour
C. Output of machinery
D. All the above
A. 3.5 and $$\frac{5}{6}$$
B. 5 and $$\frac{{25}}{{36}}$$
C. 3.5 and $$\frac{{25}}{{36}}$$
D. 4 and $$\frac{5}{6}$$
Expected time of Activity A = (4+6*4+8)/6=36
Expected time of Activity B = (5+5.5*4+9) = 36
Hence, the Expected time of Activity A and B are same.
