Q. A project consists of six activities. The immediate predecessor of each activity and the estimated duration is also provided in the table below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Activity<\/td>Immediate predecessor<\/td>Estimated duration (weeks)<\/td><\/tr>
P<\/td>–<\/td>5<\/td><\/tr>
Q<\/td>–<\/td>1<\/td><\/tr>
R<\/td>Q<\/td>2<\/td><\/tr>
S<\/td>P, R<\/td>4<\/td><\/tr>
T<\/td>P<\/td>6<\/td><\/tr>
U<\/td>S, T<\/td>3<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If all activities other than S take the estimated amount of time, the maximum duration (in weeks) of the activity S without delaying the completion of the project is_ \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ans:6<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Various paths in this network are, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 \u2013 2 \u2013 5 \u2013 6 \u2192 14 weeks <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 \u2013 2 \u2013 4 \u2013 5 \u2013 6 \u2192 12 weeks <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 \u2013 3 \u2013 4 \u2013 5 \u2013 6 \u2192 10 weeks <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hence, critical path is 1 \u2013 2 \u2013 5 \u2013 6 with duration of 14 weeks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, duration of activity S can be increased by 2 weeks almost. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, maximum duration of activity S without delaying completion of project is 6 weeks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
