A
3
B
5
C
9
D
12
Correct Answer:
9
Statement I The critical path has been defined as the longest duration path between the first and the last nodes of a project.
Statement II The duration of a project is not always the same as the duration of its critical path.
Statement III The earliest start and finish times of an activity are based on the condition that every activity will not be started and finished as early as possible.
Find the correct answer for given statements being correct or incorrect.
A
Statements I and II are correct, but Statement III is not correct
B
Statements I and III are correct, but Statement II is not correct
C
Statement I is correct, but Statements II and III are not correct
D
Statement II is correct, but Statements I and III are not correct

You are the administrator of a Windows 2000 Server computer. The server contains one network adapter and is a file and print server for critical company resources. You install a second network adpater in the server and connect it to the same network subnet as the first adapter. You want to ensure that the first adapter is used for all network traffic and the second adapter is used only if the first adapter fails or is disconnected from the network. You also want to ensure that the server always has network connectivity even if one network adapter fails. What should you do?
A
Set the second adapters status to disable
B
Configure the first adapter to use a TCP/IP metric of 100
C
Configure the second adapter to use a TCP/IP metric of 25
D
Configure the binding order on the second adapter to bind TCP/IP last
E
None of above

A father notes that when his teenage daughter uses the telephone, she takes not less than 6 minutes for a call and som? times as much as an hour. Fifteen minutes call are more frequent than calls of any other duration. If these phone calls were an activity in PERT project, then phone calls expected duration will be
A
15 minutes
B
20.143 minutes
C
21 minutes
D
27 minutes
Consider the following statements.
1. In PERT, it is assumed that the activity times follow the beta distribution.
2. In CPM, two time and cost estimates are made for each activity, which are called the optimistic and pessimistic estimates.
3. Time is the only variable used in PERT.
4. While in PERT the emphasise is on event, in CPM the emphasise is on activity.
A
While 1 and 2 are false, 3 and 4 are true
B
1, 3 and 4 are true
C
All of the aboveare false
D
All of the above are true
