The Corrct Answer is A. Though CP is the longest time in any series of activities. When the activities are completed, for that project, the completion time is the minimum time required for the project to complete.

The critical path has the longest duration more than any path in the diagram so the correct answer is B.

Amrit Kshetri said:   6 years ago
Answer A is correct in a sense that at least that amount of critical time is required for the project to complete and the project can't be completed shorter than that time. So critical time is the minimum possible time.

Critical path is the longest and consumes maximum resources and minimum time.

Ashfaq said:   6 years ago
The critical path is longest path consumes max time and resources so option B is correct.

Critical path is the longest path gives the short duration.

Rajib said:   5 years ago
In project management, a critical path is the sequence of project network activities which add up to the longest overall duration, This determines the shortest time possible to complete the project.

So, the Answer is A.

Obesley critical path is longest path but it does not consume max time beacuse length of arrow of activity is not drawen in any scale it is indpended of length of arrow. And also the objective of introducing critical path is to menimise the cost of project. If time increase than cost increase directly.

Thank you so much @Deep.

The path which consumes maximum time resources is critical but in the projection, it is actually the MINIMUM time required to execute the project.

The question is asked in this way.

So, the Correct answer is definetly option B.
