Determine True/False (No Explanations needed):
(i) The CPM method was developed primarily for the construction industry.
(ii) CPM uses a fixed value for project duration.
(iii) A Dummy Activity may sometimes have non-zero duration.
(iv) In a CPM arrow network, when two or more arrows begin at the same node, this means
that the work must end at the same time.
(v) The Forward & Backward Pass algorithms calculate EST and LST, respectively, of
all activities.
(vi) The Critical Path time is defined as the longest possible path of the network.
(vii) Backward Pass algorithm assumes the duration of the project as obtained by the
Forward Pass.
(viii) On the Activity-on-Arrow network, the nodes represent a point in time.
(ix) To draw an Activity-on-Arrow network, Activities IPA are needed.
(x) Calculation of Duration of a Project (Dij) using Average Productivity is usually an
optimistic one.
(xi) Cash-flow Analysis using CPM can be done by EST or LST Schedule
(xii) Resource Leveling using CPM is usually a trial-and-error method
(xiii) For a PERT model if each activity has a Tee=0, then effectively it becomes a CPM
model.
(xiv) The Expected Time for PERT is a weighted average of three times
(xv) In the Monte Carlo (Simulation) Method, Activity Durations are generated by random
numbers.
 Determine True/False (No Explanations needed): (i) The CPM method was developed
