True
False
Select the INCORRECT Statement :
Total float always greater than free float for any activity.
Critical path is the longest path in the project.
Critical activities control the project duration.
Critical activity is the one for which total float is zero.

True
False
The time for completing a project is equal to the sum of the individual activity times.
True
False
Critical Activities are activities of zero total float.
True
False
Critical Activities are activities of zero total float.
True
False
Any delay in critical activities will delay the project completion time by the same amount.
True
False
More than one critical path can be found in the network.
True
False
All critical paths have the same length.
True
False
If the total float of an activity is zero, so it’s free float is zero.
True
False
- If the free float of an activity is zero, so it’s total float is zero.
True
False
- ……… is defined as how much the succeeding can start before the preceding one has finished.
Overlap
Lag
- ……… means a delay is required between the two activities.
Overlap
Lag

None of the above
Critical Path is :
A continuous path of critical activities
The longest path in the network.
Formed of a set of critical activities.
All of the above

True
False
Network diagrams answer which of the following questions :
What activity must occur before this activity can occur ?
What activity must follow this activity ?
What activity can occur concurrently ?
All of the above
The time by which activity completion time can be delayed without affecting the start of succeeding activities, is known as.
Interfering float
Total float
Duration
Free Float
- A crew is used to cut and bent steel reinforcement, if the steel quantity is 16 tons and the production rate of the crew is measured as 1 crew.hour/ton. Assume 8-working hours per day, what is the duration to cut and bent the steel ? (Quiz 6)
