2. When A is completed C and D start.
3. E can start when B and D are finished.
4. F can start when B, C and D are completed and is the
final activity.
5. G can start when F is finished and is the final activity.
(a) What is the expected time of the duration of the
project?
(b) What is the probability that project will be
completed in 22 weeks? 15

UNIT–III

5. Explain with an example, the use of simulation in context


with the operations research along with its merits and
demerits. 15

6. (a) Define argument models. Also, explain the formulation


and solution of an argument model. 8
(b) Write a short note on decision trees along with
advantages and limitations of decision tree solutions.

UNIT–IV

7. A branch of a bank has only one typist. Since. typing work


varies in length (number of pages to be typed), the typing
rate is randomly distributed approximating a Poisson
distribution with a mean service rate of 8 letters per hour.
The letter arrives at a rate of 5 per hour during the entire
8-hour workday. If the typist is valued at Rs. 1.50 per hour,
determine :
