Passage / Data

Answer the following question based on the information given below.

Figure 1 shows the amount of work distribution, in man-hours, for a software between offshore and onsite activities. Figure 2 shows the estimated and actual work effort involved in the different offshore activities in the same company during the same period. [Note: Onsite refers to work performed at the customer's premise and offshore refers to work performed at the developer's premise.]

Roughly what percentage of the total work is carried out onsite?

Answer & solution

  • A

    40 percent

  • B

    20 percent

  • 30 percent

  • D

    50 percent

Solution

Total man-hours spent on offshore work = 100 + 410 + 290 = 800

And total man-hours spent on onsite work = 90 + 100 + 150 = 340

∴ Percentage onsite work = 340/(800 + 340) ≈ 30%

Hence, option (c).
