Critical path is one which takes more time to complete. So 1-2-5-6-7-8-9 is taking 22 days and other path 21 day so 1256789 should be the critical path.

What about option B which has 24+D1 days?

Hemant said:   1 decade ago
Why option "B" is not correct?

Abhishek said:   1 decade ago
Option B is 100% correct because it highest 24 days to complete a project and their are no effect of dummy activity for critical path.

Jay shankar bhatt said:   1 decade ago
Option B is not correct because we avoid looping in critical path.

Vinit said:   1 decade ago
Critical path does not contain dummy activities. So B is incorrect.

Jimbru said:   1 decade ago
Dummy activity will also be considered.

Chirag Arya said:   1 decade ago
Dummy activity not considered so D is correct. It takes 22 days.

Rash Bihari said:   10 years ago
Dummy activity should be considered. So option B is correct.

1-2-3-4-8-9 = 21.

1-2-3-5-6-7-8-9 = 24.

1-2-5-6-7-8-9 = 22.

By comparing the critical path from the above, it is concluded that option B is correct. That is critical path is given by 1-2-3-5-6-7-8-9.

Whenever if we want to know the critical path we need to consider dummy activities also for the completion of project.
