For the project A (3), B (4, after A), C (2, after A), D (5, after B and C), E (3, after C), what is the total float of activity C?

  1. 0 days
  2. 4 days
  3. 1 day
  4. 2 days

Answer

D. 2 days

Solution

C: ES = 3, EF = 5. D cannot start until B finishes at day 7, so LF of C = 7 and LS = 5. Total float = LS - ES = 5 - 3 = 2 days.
