Question
In a project, Activity A has a duration of four days and begins on the morning of Monday the fourth. The successor Activity, B, has a Finish- to-Start (FS) relationship with A. The Finish-to-Start relationship has two days of lag, and Activity B has a duration of three days. If Saturday and Sunday are non-working days, which of the following statements is true?2 MarksTotal elapsed days (completing both activities) is seven daysActivity B will be completed by the end of the day on Thursday, theActivity B will be completed by the end of the day on Friday, the 15tActivity B will be completed by the end of the day on Tuesday, the 1
Solution
Let's break down the activities and their durations:
Activity A:
- Starts on Monday the 4th
- Duration of 4 days
- Therefore, it finishes on Thursday the 7th
Activity B:
- Has a Finish-to-Start relationship with A, with 2 days of lag
- Therefore, it starts on Monday the 11th (since Saturday and Sunday are non-working days)
- Duration of 3 days
- Therefore, it finishes on Wednesday the 13th
So, the total elapsed days (completing both activities) is 9 days (4 days for Activity A, 2 days of lag, and 3 days for Activity B).
Therefore, the statement "Activity B will be completed by the end of the day on Tuesday, the 1" is incorrect. The correct statement would be "Activity B will be completed by the end of the day on Wednesday, the 13th".
