1. Which model do you advocate for execution of ultra mega power project in India.
2. If an activity cannot be delayed then what is implies.
3. A lathe operator want to make one cutting tool, so he started to machining on lathe. When he
was machining, there is a failure of tool, after that he finished the cutting tool. In this sentence
what are the events and activities.
4. How can solve the following situations:

5. A welder can done an arc welding in 5 minutes using leftward technique, he takes 7 minutes
by rightward technique, actually that welding required 6 minutes, then what is the optimistic
time, pessimistic time and likely time.
6. Define the following
Activity , Event, Looping, Crashing, Dummy activity
7. Write activities for EPC project of 1200 MW power plant at Hajira, surat and draw network
diagram.
8. Explain total float, free float, inferring float correspondence to above example.
9. What is your role as a project manager in planning of project of ship building. Write activities
in sequence in which you want to proceed and draw arrow diagram for it.
10. In a project of pressure vessel manufacturing, discuss applications of CPM and PERT. And
also differentiate both.
11. Explain the rules for construction of network diagram correspondence to above EPC project.
12. A is a start event and l is last event, B, d are successor event of A, D precedes E and F, C
succeed b, E restrict the occurance of C, E and F precedes G, H is a successor event to C and
E, G restricts the occurance of H, J succeeds I and I succeeds H, I and J precedes K, L is a
successor event to K. for the following data assume the three time estimates and find critical
path, also find slack for ech non-critical activities.

Assume three time estimation and draw network diagram. Management of the company
desires to know the realistic completion time for this project and detail analysis of float times
(if any).
14. Indian Container Company produces several types of glass containers. They have recently
reduced capacity at several of theor plants. Container manufacturing involve large expencive
machines. The machine arte hard to shutdown and to start up. In the event of a surge in
demand, they wanted to know how quikely they could start one. How quickly they can starts
using normal time? What is the fastest time in which new container can be started, and how
much additional cost is involved?
