解説

問 41

  • Incorrectア

    “3” is the total for May or June (A+B = 3) or for August (C = 3), not the value of the month with the maximum. The question asks for the number of staff in the month where the total is largest, so this is incorrect.

  • Incorrectイ

    There is no month whose total is “4”. The monthly totals are 1, 3, 3, 5, and 3; the value 4 never appears, so this is incorrect.

  • ウ

    正解 For each month, add up the number of staff for the subsystems being tested in that month. Adding A (Apr–Jun, 1 person), B (May–Jul, 2 persons), and C (Jul–Aug, 3 persons) month by month gives: April = 1, May = 3 (A+B), June = 3 (A+B), July = 5 (B+C), August = 3. The total reaches its maximum in July, where B and C overlap, giving 2 + 3 = 5 persons. Therefore the correct answer is ウ, “5”.

  • Incorrectエ

    “6” would be the value if all three of A, B, and C were running at the same time (1+2+3), but A ends in June and C starts in July, so the three never overlap in the same month. Therefore the maximum is at most 5 persons, making this incorrect.

ここがポイント
  • The approach of reading a Gantt-chart-style period table, summing the staff (resources) for each month where the periods overlap, and finding the month when the workload (number of staff) peaks.
  • The key point is to accurately grasp the overlap of the test periods on a monthly basis, taking care to count both the start month and the end month.
