Using PERT formula for each activity. Add the value obtained to get 19.

Activity 1-2 => (3+(4*4)+5)/6 = 4.

2-3 =>(5+(7*4)+9)/6 = 7.

3-4 => (6+(4*4)+10)/6 = 8.

4+7+8 = 19.

According to me, 3-4=>(6+(8*4)+10)/6 = 8.

@Subha.

Activity 4 cannot be started without activity 1 2 & 3.

So, 19 is correct.

@Zahid.
Activity 3-4 calculation is wrong by;
Expected time= 6 + 4 * 8 + 10/6 = 8.

1-2=>(3+(4*4)+5)/6 = 24/6 = 4.
2-3=>(5+(7*4)+9)/6 = 42/6 = 7.
3-4=>(6+(8*4)+10)/6 = 48/6 = 8.
