Exclusive Gateway - (XOR) Split Ans: An X captures decision points,
between two or more alternative activities. it represents a decision to
take exactly one path in the flow. More than one path can not be
taken.

Relation between two or more alternative activities, like in the case of
the approval or rejection of a claim, we use an exclusive X
Exclusive Gateway - (XOR) Join Ans: A X proceeds, when one incoming

branch has completed
We use an X to merge two or more alternative branches that may have
previously been forked with an X.
Parallel Gateway - (AND) Split Ans: X is used to model the parallel
execution of two or more branches.
When two or more activities do not have any order dependencies on
each other (i.e. one activity does not need to follow the other, nor
excludes the other). They can be executed concurrently or in parallel.
Parallel Gateway - (AND) Join Ans: An X is used to synchronise the
execution of two or more parallel branches.
All concurrent executions. arriving at the parallel join gateway, wait at
the gateway; until execution has completed for each of the incoming
sequence flows.

Inclusive Gateway - (OR) Split Ans: Inclusive gateways are used to
model situations where a decision may lead to one or more options
being taken at the same time.
An X is similar to he XOR-Split, but the conditions on its outgoing branches
do not need to be mutually exclusive, i.e. more than one of them can
be true at the same time.
Inclusive Gateway - (OR) Join Ans: An X proceeds when all active
incoming branches have completed. An active branch will ultimately

deliver a token to the X
Once all tokens of active branches have arrived, X synchronises these

token into one.
Multi instance activity Ans: A X is a construct which is useful when the
same activity is executed for multiple data items.
It's executed multiple times concurrently.
Depicted as an activity marked with three small vertical lines at the
bottom.
Start event Ans: A X event triggers a new process instance by
generating a token that traverses throughout the sequence flow ("token
source")
End event Ans: An X event signals that a process instance has
completed with a given outcome by consuming a token ("token sink")
