  1. Q1.The improvement plan for a packaging project is laid out below.

    TaskFollowsDaysAstart2BA12CA4DC3ED3FB,E2\begin{array}{c|l|c} \hline \textbf{Task} & \textbf{Follows} & \textbf{Days} \\ \hline A & \text{start} & 2 \\ B & A & 12 \\ C & A & 4 \\ D & C & 3 \\ E & D & 3 \\ F & B, E & 2 \\ \hline \end{array}

    Which task lies on the critical path?

    • A.C
    • B.B✓ Correct answer
    • C.D
    • D.E

    Explanation

    The critical path is the longest path through the network in time, not the path holding the most activities and not the path that looks hardest:

    ABF=2+12+2=16 daysA \to B \to F = 2 + 12 + 2 = 16 \text{ days}

    ACDEF=2+4+3+3+2=14 daysA \to C \to D \to E \to F = 2 + 4 + 3 + 3 + 2 = 14 \text{ days}

    So the critical chain is A, B, F and B is the only listed option on it. The C, D, E branch is the primary foil because it contains three activities against B's one, yet it finishes two days early, which means every activity on it carries two days of total float while B carries none. Exam tip: count days, never activities, and remember that zero float is the property that defines a critical activity.
