Explanation / Answer

31) Below is a table of the minimum amount of time that each activitycan be completed in... A: 5 B: 8 C: A+7=12 D: max(A, B) + 7 = 15 E: B + 9 = 17 F: max(C, D, E) + 6 = 23 G: E + 6 = 23 Max of the table is your answer: 23 weeks. 32) From the table, we see the earliest D can be finished in is 15weeks. 33) 2. They are BEF and BEG. They are critical becausethe sum of completion times is 23 weeks, the completion time. An infinitesimal delay anywhere along these paths would result inthe same delay in project completion. 34) D. BEFG are critical because an infinitesimal delay inthese events will result in the same delay in the entireproject. On the other hand, if there is an infinitesimaldelay in these other activities, there will be no delay in theentire project.
