Given a project network with two paths—Path A: 3+5+2=10 days and Path B: 4+4+4=12 days—which path is critical?

Neither path is critical because they have different durations

Both paths are critical because they are the only paths

Path B, because it has the longest total duration

A project manager is analyzing a network diagram. Activity X has an early start of day 5, a late start of day 9, an early finish of day 12, and a late finish of day 16. The project manager needs to know how much the activity can slip without delaying the project. What should the project manager calculate?

Free float of 4 days, using late finish minus early finish

Free float of 7 days, using late finish minus early start

Total float of 7 days, using late finish minus early start

Total float of 4 days, using late start minus early start
