If the duration of activity f alone is changed from 9 to 10 days, then the

  • A.critical path remains the same and the total duration to complete the project changes to 19 days.
  • B.critical path and the total duration to complete the project remain the same.
  • C.critical path changes but the total duration to complete the project remains the same.
  • D.critical path changes and the total duration to complete the project changes to 17 days.

Answer: A

The critical path remains the same and the total duration changes to 19 days.

Activity f lies on the critical path a - d - f - h, so lengthening it by one day lengthens that path to 3 + 4 + 10 + 2 = 19 days. The other paths (17 and 16 days) are unchanged and still shorter, so the critical path is still a - d - f - h.

Any change to a critical activity changes the project duration, so 'total duration remains the same' is wrong. The critical path would change only if another path became the longest, and 17 days is the length of a non-critical path, not the new project duration.
