ITPEC FE Morning October 2023 Question 53
ITPEC FE Morning October 2023 — Question 53 of 80
Step 1 — Total coding effort:
| Type | Programs | Days/program | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Input | 20 | 1 | 20 |
| Output | 10 | 3 | 30 |
| Calculation | 5 | 9 | 45 |
| Coding total | 95 |
Step 2 — Design & testing require 8× the coding effort: 95 × 8 = 760 person-days.
Step 3 — Grand total: 95 + 760 = 855 person-days.
Step 4 — Minimum staff: 855 / 95 = 9 people.
Why not others:
- (a) 8 — 8 × 95 = 760, which is 95 person-days short
- (c) 12 — more staff than needed
- (d) 13 — more staff than needed
Key rule: Total effort = coding + (multiplier × coding), then divide by the deadline in days. Round up if it doesn't divide evenly.
