True/False Statements (Tick the correct option) Selection of the critical path in network activity diagram for any project, is always focused onresult of the minimum time duration of the critical activities [ True / False ] Suppose, we have total 03 activities in the project “X”; namely L, M and N respectively. An activity “M” is the immediate successor of the activity “L”, while the activity “M” is the immediate predecessor for the activity “N”. According to this scenario, an activity “M” will be the last activity of the project “X” in the network activity diagram [True / False ] The dummy activity consumes both time and resources [True / False ] Towards the optimal solution through stepping stone method, when degeneracy problem is occurred, the next step is to focus on searching lowest value on the independent position in a non-allocated cells [True / False ] Hungarian algorithm, first convert any given assignment matrix into row reduction matrix [True / Falsearrow_forward8.
