This was a three part question. Bartelby helped me get A and B. The picture for Part A is the network diagram and Part B's answer is below for the critical path. My question I need to answer is Part C which is in the second picture. Part B There are the following paths in the project network. A –> B –> D –> G –> J = 2 + 4 + 2 + 3 + 7 = 18 A –> B –> E –> G – >J = 2 + 4 + 1 + 3 + 7 = 17 A –> B –> F –> H –> J = 2 + 4 + 8 + 5 + 7 = 25 A –> C –> F –> H –> J = 2 + 5 + 8 + 5 + 7 = 27 A –> C –> F –> I –> J = 2 + 5 + 8 + 4 + 7 = 26 The longest path in all the possible paths of the project network is A –> C –> F –> H –> J with the longest time. Therefore, the project duration is 27 days.

Question

This was a three part question. Bartelby helped me get A and B. The picture for Part A is the network diagram and Part B's answer is below for the critical path. My question I need to answer is Part C which is in the second picture.

Part B There are the following paths in the project network.

  • A –> B –> D –> G –> J = 2 + 4 + 2 + 3 + 7 = 18
  • A –> B –> E –> G – >J = 2 + 4 + 1 + 3 + 7 = 17
  • A –> B –> F –> H –> J = 2 + 4 + 8 + 5 + 7 = 25
  • A –> C –> F –> H –> J = 2 + 5 + 8 + 5 + 7 = 27
  • A –> C –> F –> I –> J = 2 + 5 + 8 + 4 + 7 = 26

The longest path in all the possible paths of the project network is A –> C –> F –> H –> J with the longest time. Therefore, the project duration is 27 days.
