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.]

The total effort in man-hours spent onsite is nearest to which of the following?

Answer & solution

Correct answer: The actual man-hours of offshore testing

  • 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

Solution

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).
