CAT 2021 Slot 3 — DILR Question 17
Answer the next 4 questions based on the information given
The figure above shows the schedule of four employees – Abani, Bahni, Danni and Tinni – whom Dhoni supervised in 2020. Altogether there were five projects which started and concluded in 2020 in which they were involved. For each of these projects and for each employee, the starting day was at the beginning of a month and the concluding day was the end of a month, and these are indicated by the left and right end points of the corresponding horizontal bars. The number within each bar indicates the percentage of assigned work completed by the employee for that project, as assessed by Dhoni.
For each employee, his/her total project-month (in 2020) is the sum of the number of months (s)he worked across the five project, while his/her annual completion index is the weightage average of the completion percentage assigned from the different projects, with the weights being the corresponding number of months (s)he worked in these projects. For each project, the total employee-month is the sum of the number of months four employees worked in this project, while its completion index is the weightage average of the completion percentage assigned for the employees who worked in this project, with the weights being the corresponding number of months they worked in this project.

Which of the following statements is/are true?
I: The total project-month was the same for the four employees.
II: The total employee-month was the same for the five projects.
Answer & solution
Correct answer: Only I

Both I and II
- B
Neither I nor II
- C
Only II
Only I
Total project month for
Abani: 2 + 2 + 5 = 9
Bahni: 2 + 4 + 3 = 9
Danni: 3 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 9
Tinni: 2 + 2 + 3 + 2 = 9
∴ Total project month was same for all 4 employees.
Total employee month
Project 1: 2 + 2 +2 = 6
Project 2: 3 + 2 = 5
Project 3: 2 + 4 + 3 = 9
Project 4: 5 + 2 + 3 = 10
Project 5: 3 + 1 + 2 = 6
∴ Total employee month was not same for all projects.
Hence, option (d).
