CAT 2001 — DILR Question 11
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.]
The total effort in man-hours spent onsite is nearest to which of the following?
Answer & solution
- A
The sum of the estimated and actual effort for offshore design
- B
The estimated man-hours of offshore coding
The actual man-hours of offshore testing
- D
Half of the man-hours of estimated offshore coding
Total man-hours spent on onsite work = 90 + 100 + 150 = 340
Sum of the estimated and actual effort for offshore design = 100 + 100 = 200
Estimated man-hours of offshore coding = 410
Actual man-hours of offshore testing = 300
Half of the man-hours of estimated offshore coding = 205
∴ Total man-hours spent on onsite work is more closer to actual man-hours of offshore testing.
Hence, option (c).
