2. WhatisCPMandPERT.? Discusssignificanceof usingCPMandPERT.
3. Define event, activity, precede activity, successor activity, dummy activity with respect to
CPM/PERT
4. What are the 3 time estimates? How are the expected duration of a project, and its
standard deviation calculated?
5. A project consists of 10 activities for which the relevant data are given below:
Activity PrecedingActivity Duration(Hours)
A -- 0.5
B A 1
C B 1.5
D B 1.4
E D 1.2
F B 0.8
G F 1.0
H C,E,G 0.4
I H 1.4
J I 0.5

(a) Draw the PERT network.
(b) What is the expected time of the duration of the project?
8. A small project involves 7 activities, and their time estimates are listed in the following table.
EstimatedDuration(Weeks)
Activity Optimistic Mostlikely Pessimistic
1-2 1 1 7
1-3 1 4 7

9. Tasks A to I constitutes a project in which the precedence relationships are A< D; A<E; B
<F; D< F; C< G; C<H, F< I; G< I.
Time in day for each task is as follows:
Task A B C D E F G H I
Time 8 10 8 10 16 17 18 14 9
Draw the network to represent the project and find out total float of each activity and identify
critical path
