Build the Schedule and Budget - 10 Questions

PS: I do not have answers for these, however I was asked to answer these questions and sent back to my training institute to get some free PDUs in order to keep my PMP status active.

I am posting here for the practice for PMP aspirants. If you like it, I will post few more. Otherwise, I will stop posting this series. (as I do not have correct answers with me)

- Regards, Ramana
