Free PMI PgMP Actual Exam Questions - Question 5 Discussion

It’s C, Gantt charts clearly show tasks over time on a calendar grid.

Scatter charts (B) are definitely out since they’re about plotting data points, not durations. Pie charts (A) show proportions of a whole, so that also doesn’t fit with timeline stuff. The main contenders are C and D, but Pareto charts focus on priorities or causes ranked by frequency, not timing. So Gantt charts (C) make the most sense here because they visually map tasks along a calendar or timeline, showing start and end dates clearly.

C imo, scatter charts plot points, not durations on a timeline.

Maybe D can be ruled out since Pareto charts focus on frequency or impact, not durations over time. That leaves C as the only one that naturally shows activities against a timeline or calendar.

C imo. Gantt charts literally map activities over time, usually shown as bars on a calendar scale. The others don’t show duration against dates at all—pie charts just show proportions, scatter plots show data points, and Pareto charts rank factors by frequency or impact. So if the question is about duration linked directly to calendar time, Gantt has to be it.

D imo, Pareto charts focus on prioritizing factors by frequency or impact, not timing. So that leaves Gantt charts (C) as the only one showing durations on a calendar. Pie and scatter are definitely unrelated.

It’s C for sure. Pie and Pareto charts show proportions, not timelines, and scatter plots just show distributions. Only Gantt charts display activities against a calendar.

Option C since Gantt charts plot tasks along a timeline, unlike others here.

This one’s pretty straightforward, I think it’s C since Gantt charts are all about showing timelines and durations. C.
