The critical path in a network diagram is the longest sequence of dependent tasks that determines the overall duration of the project. Any delay on a task within the critical path will delay the entire project.
To determine the critical path in this scenario, we need to calculate the duration of each path and identify the longest one. The tasks in the longest path will be on the critical path.
Path ACG: 10 weeks Path ABF: 8 weeks Path DEH: 12 weeks Path DBF: 7 weeks
The longest path is DEH, which has a duration of 12 weeks. Therefore, the tasks D, E, and H are on the critical path.
Answer C, D, E, and H are on the critical path.
