Ben is the project manager for his organization. His project has 26 stakeholders this week and will have five additional stakeholders next week. How many more communication channels will Ben's project have next week?
Correct Answer: A
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
Ben's project will have 140 more communication channels because of the five additional stakeholders. To solve the question, you will need to find the current stakeholder communication channels first, which is (26*25)/2= 325, and then find the difference of the number of channels for the five additional stakeholders.
You can use the formula of N(N-1), where N is the number of stakeholders. In this example, the formula would read: Total number of communication channels that Ben will have next = ((31*30)/2)-((26*25)/2 =140 Incorrect Answers:
B: 10 is the number of communication channels among just five stakeholders.
C: 325 is the number of current communication channels.
D: Five is the number of additional stakeholders.
