 2?

Let's say the 1st 100 WP's completed were the smaller ones and the real tough ones are yet to come in the later half of the project. So ideally you should have completed the 1st 100 easier EP's in less than an year to compensate for the tougher ones coming in the later half. 

Also there is no cost information given if it took $10K to complete those 100 WP's in 1 year or something else.

Nothing much can be inferred out of the given info

B is the correct answer.

There is Not enough information available about the project. What was planned? Is the work packages are same? Therefore Option B is TRUE.
 

This is a question from TechFAQ360 and I came across this and so rember it,

Thanks
