­Its simple when you read what Anooj1705 above has mentioned, you just have to see the last column of the table, which shows the CURRENT data(currently means data of the present day). So the last day has A, B, C, D and F which represent Initial and Intermediate cluster. The Final cluster letters G and H are missing. 

So the Answer is Yes Yes and No.

KarishmaB The project 74154 can also be considered an active one. Why can't its current status be 'H' ?

­Initial Cluster - Stages A and B
Intermediate cluster - Stages C, D E, F
Final Cluster - Stages G, H

Today is the 5th day of week 7. So we only have to look at week 7. Look at the report generated.

Last 4 projects are all in A or B so they are in Initial Cluster. 
Initial Cluster - Select YES

Rest all 6 projects today are in C or D or F. They all belong to Intermediate cluster.
Intermediate cluster - Select YES

No other project is active today. 
Final Cluster - Select NO

If that were the case then previous days including today would have an H against it. But there isn't. This shows that the project is already complete.

KarishmaB MartyMurray egmat pls explain Q2 and Q1 too­.

Pls tell the significance of % asssigned to clusters to indicate a % of project lifetime spent in one cluster. For ex a delay would occur even if the stage was supposed to be there for 2 days but got completed in >2 days but how do we find these cases. We coincidentally got this answer correct by seeing which stage exceeeded 3 days instead but the delay need not be due to exceeding 3 days

­Read the 1st passage "none requires more than 3 days of work. A project is said to be delayed if it spends more time at a stage than is required to complete the work."

In this project, A took 5 days and C took 6 days.
In tab 1, it was mentioned that " Some stages require as little as 1 day of work, and none requires more than 3 days of work. A project is said to be delayed if it spends more time at a stage than is required to complete the work." Thus, it is delayed.
