Question 1. The essential condition for the decompression of an activity is that
  1.    The project time should change due to decompression
  2.    After decompression the time of an activity invariably exceeds its normal time
  3.    An activity could be decompressed to the maximum extent of its normal time
  4.    None of the above
Explanation:-
Answer: Option C. -> An activity could be decompressed to the maximum extent of its normal time
The essential condition for the decompression of an activity is that An activity could be decompressed to the maximum extent of its normal time
Question 2. Actual performance of a task is called
  1.    An event
  2.    An activity
  3.    A duration
  4.    None of these
Explanation:-
Answer: Option B. -> An activity
Activity is defined as the amount of work performed that converts input to appropriate outputs.
Question 3. Bar charts are suitable for
  1.    Minor works
  2.    Major works
  3.    Large projects
  4.    All of the above
Explanation:-
Answer: Option A. -> Minor works
Bar charts are suitable for Minor works
Question 4. The simplex method is the basic method for
  1.    Value analysis
  2.    Operation research
  3.    Linear programming
  4.    Model analysis
Explanation:-
Answer: Option C. -> Linear programming
The simplex method is the basic method for Linear programming.
The Simplex method is a search procedure that sifts through the set of basic feasible solutions, one at a time, until the optimal basic feasible solution is identified.
Question 5. According to MAPI formula, the old machine should be replaced by new one when
(Here, CAM = Challenger's Adverse minimum, DAM = Defender's Adverse minimum)
  1.    CAM < DAM
  2.    CAM > DAM
  3.    CAM = DAM
  4.    There is no such criterion
Explanation:-
Answer: Option A. -> CAM < DAM
According to MAPI formula, the old machine should be replaced by new one when (Here, CAM = Challenger's Adverse minimum, DAM = Defender's Adverse minimum) CAM < DAM
Question 6. Which of the following statement is wrong?
  1.    An activity consumes time and resources whereas an event does not consume time or resources
  2.    The performance of a specific task is called an activity
  3.    An event is an instantaneous point in time at which an activity begins or ends
  4.    The turning of a job on lathe is an event whereas job turned is an activity
Explanation:-
Answer: Option D. -> The turning of a job on lathe is an event whereas job turned is an activity
The performance of a specific task is called an activity.
An event is an instantaneous point in time at which an activity begins or ends.
Question 7. Performance rating is equal to
  1.    Observed performance + normal performance
  2.    Observed performance - normal performance
  3.    Observed performance × normal performance
  4.    None of the above
Explanation:-
Answer: Option D. -> None of the above
Performance Rating can be defined as the procedure in which the time study engineer compares the performance of operator(s) under observation to the Normal Performance and determines a factor called Rating Factor.
Question 8. Templates are used for
  1.    A planning layout
  2.    Flow of material
  3.    Advancing a programme in automatic machines
  4.    Copying complicated profiles
Explanation:-
Answer: Option A. -> A planning layout
Templates are used for a planning layout.
Question 9. Which of the following are the principles of material handling?
  1.    Keep all the handling to the minimum
  2.    Select only efficient handling equipment
  3.    Move the heaviest weight to the least distance
  4.    All of the above
Explanation:-
Answer: Option D. -> All of the above
The principles of material handling are listed below:
- Keep all the handling to the minimum
- Select only efficient handling equipment
- Move the heaviest weight to the least distance
Question 10. In value engineering, important consideration is given to
  1.    Customer satisfaction
  2.    Function concept
  3.    Profit maximization
  4.    Cost reduction
Explanation:-
Answer: Option D. -> Cost reduction
In value engineering, important consideration is given to Cost reduction
