C A 8
D B 4
E B, C 8
F D, E 2
G D 4
H E, F 6
I F, G 8
J F, H, I 2

a. Critical Activities with TF = 0 is, A-B-C-E-F-I-J
b. Critical Path is, A-C-E-F-I-J
c. Total project Duration is 32 months
• If activity E takes 9 months to complete, the project will be delay for 1 month. The critical path is still the same, but
with increased duration.

- A-B-G-J
e. Critical Path is,
- A-B-E-H-J
- A-B-G-J
f. Total project Duration is 40 months
iv. Activity D can be delayed by up to 12 months (its float). So, adding 2 days will not affect total project duration. Project
remains 40 months.
