    EST = Earliest start time
    LFT = Latest Finish Time
    ∴  Path along which EST & LFT is equal are called critical path
    Critical path duration is 18 days.

    Correct Option: D


    EST = Earliest start time
    LFT = Latest Finish Time
    ∴  Path along which EST & LFT is equal are called critical path
    Critical path duration is 18 days.

    Max z = x1 + x2

    As feasibly region remains the same solution remains the same (4/3, 4/3).
    Hence, the correct option is (b).

    Correct Option: B

    Max z = x1 + x2

    As feasibly region remains the same solution remains the same (4/3, 4/3).
    Hence, the correct option is (b).


  1. The sale of cycles in a shop in four consecutive months are given as 70, 68, 82, 95. Exponentially smoothing average method with a smoothing factor of 0.4 is used in forecasting. The expected number of sales in the next month is

    Ft+1 = Dt + α(1 – α) Dt–1 + α(1 – α) ² Dt–2
    Ft+1 = 0.4 (95) + 0.4 (1 – 0.4)² + α(1 – α)³ Dt–3 + (0.4) (1 – 0.4)² × 68 + (0.4) (1 – 0.4)³ × 70
    Ft–1 = 73.52 units

    Correct Option: C

    Ft+1 = Dt + α(1 – α) Dt–1 + α(1 – α) ² Dt–2
    Ft+1 = 0.4 (95) + 0.4 (1 – 0.4)² + α(1 – α)³ Dt–3 + (0.4) (1 – 0.4)² × 68 + (0.4) (1 – 0.4)³ × 70
    Ft–1 = 73.52 units
