  1. PERT technique of network analysis is mainly useful for

  2. A.

     Small projects

    B.

     Large and complex projects

    C.

     Research and development projects

    D.

     Deterministic activities


  3. In India, are prefabricated components costlier than those of traditional cast-in-situ items that the prefabricated components replace?

  4. A.

     Yes, because of heavier overheads and handling cost

    B.

     Yes, because of the very high order of quality control for the factory made components

    C.

     No, because of repetitive manufacture of a number of elements

    D.

     No, because of savings in site labour


  5. What estimate would you give for the variance in above problem ?

     54

    C.

     36

    D.

     9

    C.

     For the payment of advances to labour and other staff

  16. A.

     Measurement of risks to eliminate failures

    B.

     Applying the theory' of probability to sample testing or inspection

    C.

     Reduction in wastage of inspection costs

    D.

     Reduction in costs for the removal of defects
