Question

Task 1 2 workers needed 5 days Task 2 2 workers needed 3 days Task 3 Start Project1 worker neededFinish Project 2 days Task 4 1 worker needed 4 days Task 5 1 worker needed 2 days Given this project and the requirement that the number of resources working on a task cannot be less than the number assigned to the task, answer the following question. If the tasks were placed in a serial relationship with Task 1 first and the others in numerical order, on what day would Task 3 be done? day 18 day 3 day 10 0

Explanation / Answer

Here, we are given that the tasks are performed in serial order. This means that you can move to the next task only after completing the preceding task.

Hence, the order of the tasks is:

Start Project -> Task 1 -> Task 2 -> Task 3 -> Task 4 -> Task 5 -> End Project

Now, Task 1 takes 5 days. Hence, if it starts on the 1st day, it will end on the 5th day. (as the duration of this task is 5 days)

Task 2 will start on the 6th day, and will end on the 8th day. (it takes three days, right? hence, 6th, 7th and finally 8th)

Task 3 will start on the 9th day and end on the 10th day (as the duration of this task is 2 days, hence this will happen on days 9 and 10)

Hence, the required answer is 10 days.
