It is considering 1-2, the contractual obligation 75 and latest occurrence is 2. It is considering latest occurrence 1-2.

{PT + (4 x MLT) + OT}/6.
i.e {15+(4x28)+21}/6 which is equal to 24.66.

But, contractual obligation 75,
From event 1-2, 2-3, and 3-4 total 3 duration time,
so, time duration to reach 1-2 is 75/3 = 25,
25>24.66.
Due to contractual obligation, the time will be the greater one
Ans = 25.

Latest occurrence time calculated from backward pass method.

Therefore TL of event 4 is 75 given;
Now( 75- (TE of 3-4) - (TE of2-3)),
TE =( opt time + 4 *most lik time + pess time) /6.
75 - (15) - (35) = 25 i.e TL of event 2 i.e asked.

For latest occurence time, backward pass method is used and for earliest expected time, forward pass method is used.

{Op time + (4 * Most lik time) + pess time}/6.

i.e {15+(4*28)+21}/6 which is equal to 24.6666 = 25.

Is this is possible that pessimistic time can be less than optimistic time? Please answer this.
