CAT 2001 — DILR Question 9
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.]

Which of the work requires as many man-hours as that spent in coding?
Answer & solution
Correct answer: Offshore, design and coding
Offshore, design and coding
- B
Offshore coding
- C
Testing
- D
Offshore, testing and coding
Man-hours spent in coding = offshore coding + onsite coding = 410 + 100 = 510
Now, total man-hours spent in offshore design and offshore coding = 100 + 410 = 510
Hence, option (a).
