ITPEC IP April 2020 Question 51
ITPEC IP April 2020 — Question 51 of 100
The entire project is delayed by one day. Initially the three paths take A+D = 2+4 = 6 days, B+E = 4+3 = 7 days, and C+F = 7+1 = 8 days, so the project duration is 8. A total three-day delay on A and D makes their path 9 days, exceeding the old completion time by one day.
Answer (a)
Why not others:
- two days of the delay are absorbed by the A-D path's original two-day float
- the full three-day activity delay does not become a three-day project delay
Key rule: A delayed noncritical path affects completion only after its delay exceeds its total float.
