Question 151
Correct Answer: B
The critical path in project management is the longest sequence of tasks that must be completed on time for the project to be finished on its due date. In this network diagram, we need to calculate the duration of each path and determine which one takes the longest time. Calculating the paths we get: A-C-G-K-M: 5+5+15+10+10 = 45, A-B-D-I-L-M: 5+10+5+20+5+10 = 55, A-B-E-J-L-M: 5+10+10+5+5+10 = 45, A-B-F-L-M: 5+10+5+5+10 = 35. The path A-B-D-I-L-M has the longest duration of 55 units of time, making it the critical path.
Discussion
eXhilarat3dOption: B
The path with the longest duration is the critical path.
nasinecOption: B
The critical path is the longest one. Therefore, B is the correct answer.
BlueMan93Option: B
Critical path = longest path time wise. Just add up the numbers, highest total wins. A = 45 B = 50 C = 40 D = 30
TherealjoshOption: A
the Critcal path in this would be A-C-G-k-M
