Detailed explanation-1: -Misconception: The critical path is the shortest path through the network diagram. Fact: The critical path is the longest path through the network diagram, meaning the sequence of activities that collectivity define the starting and ending dates for the project and have no slack or float time (excess time).
Detailed explanation-2: -Statement I & IV: True The critical path is the sequence of critical activities that represents the longest path through a project, which determines the shortest possible project duration, if any one activity on critical path delays, it will impact the project completion date.
Detailed explanation-3: -Q:Which of the following isnottrue of the critical path? It has zero float. It’s the shortest activity sequence in the network. You can determine which tasks can start late without impacting the project end date.It controls the project finish date.
