Directions for the following five questions: Answer the questions based on the two graphs shown below.

Figure I (the chart on the left) shows the amount of work distribution, in man-hours, for a software company between offshore and onsite activities.

Figure 2 (the chart on the right) 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 customerā€™s premise and offshore refers to work performed at the developerā€™s premise.]

Question 64

If 50% of the offshore work were to be carried out onsite, with the distribution of effort between the tasks remaining the same, which of the following is true of all work carried out onsite?

Solution

Total offshore work = 100+420+300 = 820.Ā If 50% of the offshore work were to be carried out onsite i.e 410 carried out onsite.Ā 

So new work carried out onsite is in design is [80 + (100*410)/(825)] which is around 130. AlsoĀ new work carried out onsite is in coding is [100 + (425*410)(825)] which is around 315.Ā 

AndĀ new work carried out onsite is in testing is [150+(300*410)(825)] which is around 300. Hence the amount of coding done is greater than that of testing.Ā
