Question

In a project network, two parallel activities start from the same node and merge at the same succeeding node. Their durations are: Activity A = 6 days, Activity B = 9 days. Which statement is correct?

• A. Both activities lie on the critical path
• B. Only Activity A lies on the critical path
• C. Only Activity B lies on the critical path
• D. Neither activity lies on the critical path

Hint:

For parallel activities sharing the same start and end nodes, the activity with the maximum duration acts as the bottleneck and will always lie on the critical path.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C
