Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The critical path is A-B-D-E, which means those activities are the most important and taking the longest time. To reduce the overall project duration, we have to shorten one of the activities on the critical path, which will reduce the duration of the project. Option C is the best choice as crashing activity E will reduce the duration of the project by the maximum amount as it is the last activity on the critical path. Crashing activities A, B or D would not have as significant an impact on the project duration.
