PK0-004 Question #987: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

The correct answer is C: A, B, D. The critical path is the longest sequence of dependent tasks that determines the minimum project duration. Two paths exist: Path 1: A → B → D = 5 + 2 + 3 = 10 days. Path 2: A → C → D = 5 + 1 + 3 = 9 days. Path 1 (A, B, D) is the longest at 10 days and is therefore the critical pa

Question

Given the tasks listed below: - Task A has a duration of five days and successors of Tasks B and C. - Task B has a duration of two days and a successor of Task D. - Task C has a duration of one day and a successor of Task D. - Task D has a duration of three days and no successors. Which of the following describes the correct order of tasks on the critical path?

Options

  • AA, C, B, D
  • BA, B, C, D
  • CA, B, D
  • DA, C, D

Explanation

The critical path is the longest sequence of dependent tasks that determines the minimum project duration. Two paths exist: Path 1: A → B → D = 5 + 2 + 3 = 10 days. Path 2: A → C → D = 5 + 1 + 3 = 9 days. Path 1 (A, B, D) is the longest at 10 days and is therefore the critical path. Any delay on tasks A, B, or D will directly delay the project finish date. Task C sits on the non-critical path - it has 1 day of float (slack) and can be delayed by up to 1 day without impacting the overall schedule. Answer C (A, B, D) correctly identifies the critical path.
