Umair,

If they wanted you to use CBWFQ for you first question, they would have
worded the question more like this.....

"During times of congestion, IP traffic gets 60% of available bandwidth on a
link, DLSw gets 20%, etc."

For the second question, it is obvious that they wan't you to limit the
bandwidth that PING uses to 5% and drop anything above the limit - probably
to prevent DOS attacks. PQ, CQ, and CBWFQ would not accomplish this.
