      And

      My Son Siddhant

      Acknowledgment

      This book is a result of constant inspiration from my wife Soumya, my son Siddhant and various feedback resulting from PMP aspirants across the globe. During the last five year as trainer, I have noticed that more than 80% of PMP aspirants do not like mathematics. The numerical problems related to project selection, Time Management, Cost Management, Risk Management and Procurement Management are dreaded subjects and most of the aspirants tend to memorize the formula without understanding the concepts behind the mathematics. Remembering the formula is necessary but more important is to have clear conceptual understanding.

      Last but not the least, I would like to thank my parents and my in-laws for their blessings throughout my journey of creating the first e-book.

      I would look forward to feedback from readers.

      Thanks

      Keshav Kumar

      Numerical Problems for PMP

      Instructions: The quiz contains 50 multiple choice questions (A, B, C, and D) with one correct answer. As per the PMP exam, aspirants are expected to do 200 questions in 4 hours, i.e. 240 minutes. This would mean doing one question every 1 minute and 12 seconds. Keeping in mind the complexity of questions here, I would suggest that allocated time for these 50 questions to be around 75 minutes.

      Total questions: 50

      Total time: 75 minutes

      Passing score: 80%
