The correct answer is B. Tasks 2 and 4 have an FS predecessor of Task 1. Task 3 has an FS predecessor of Task 1 and 2. Based on a typical schedule diagram for this type of question, Task 1 is the initial task that enables both Task 2 and Task 4 to begin once it finishes (Finish-to-Start relationship). Task 3 depends on the completion of both Task 1 and Task 2, meaning it cannot start until both…

Question

A new project manager has entered a project in progress. Upon looking at the project schedule, the project manager finds predecessors have not been set. Based on the schedule above which of the following predecessors can be inferred?

Options

  • ATasks 2 and 4 have an FS predecessor of Task 1. Task 3 has an FS predecessor of Task 2.
  • BTasks 2 and 4 have an FS predecessor of Task 1. Task 3 has an FS predecessor of Task 1 and 2.
  • CTask 4 has an FS predecessor of Task 1. Task 3 has an FS predecessor of Tasks 1 and 2. Task 2
  • DTasks 2 and 4 have an FS predecessor of Task 1. Task 3 has an FS predecessor of Task 2. Task

Explanation

Based on a typical schedule diagram for this type of question, Task 1 is the initial task that enables both Task 2 and Task 4 to begin once it finishes (Finish-to-Start relationship). Task 3 depends on the completion of both Task 1 and Task 2, meaning it cannot start until both predecessors are complete. FS (Finish-to-Start) is the most common dependency type, meaning the successor task cannot start until the predecessor has finished. Option A is incomplete because it misses Task 1 as a predecessor to Task 3. Options C and D rearrange or omit key relationships that do not align with the inferred schedule structure.
