Question

Tasks B and D start after Task A is completed. Task C starts after Tasks B and D are completed. task E starts after Task D is completed. Task H starts after task B is completed. Task G starts after Tasks C and H are completed. Task F starts after Task E is completed. Following are the durations of all tasks:

Which of the following tasks are on the critical path? Task Duration

Accepted Answer

B. B. A, B, H, G By tracing all possible paths through the network - A-B-C-G, A-B-H-G, A-D-C-G, and A-D-E-F - and summing the task durations along each, path A-B-H-G yields the longest total. Tasks on the critical path have zero float, meaning any delay to A, B, H, or G directly extends the project finish date. The critical path determines the minimum possible project duration, so correctly identifying it is essential for schedule control.

Answer

A. A, D, C, G Path A-D-C-G exists in the network but has a shorter total duration than A-B-H-G, giving it positive float and removing it from the critical path.

Answer

C. C. A, D, E, F Path A-D-E-F exists in the network but its cumulative duration is less than A-B-H-G, so it does not control the project end date.

Answer

D. A, B, C, G Path A-B-C-G also passes through A and B but diverges at C instead of H, resulting in a shorter total duration than A-B-H-G and therefore is not the critical path.
