Free PMI CAPM Actual Exam Questions - Question 14 Discussion
For a 10-day project, activity B ' s duration is three days, and activity C’s duration is two days What is the duration of activity A if activities B and C are performed in parallel?
Probably C, since A fills the remaining time after B and C run together.
This one’s tricky since B and C run simultaneously for 3 days, so their combined duration is basically just 3 days. The whole project’s 10 days, so A must fill the rest of the time not taken by B and C. That means A is 7 days long, matching option C. The key is realizing B and C don’t add up directly because they overlap.
Maybe D, if A includes both B and C’s parallel time plus some extra work. If B and C overlap for 3 days and total is 10, A might cover the whole span including that period.
A The longest parallel activity is 3 days, so A can’t be shorter than that. Since the total is 10, A must be the remainder after those 3 days.
It’s A. Since B and C run at the same time, you don’t add their durations together. The longer one (B - 3 days) determines the parallel block’s length. So if the whole project is 10 days, subtracting those 3 days leaves 7 days for A, but that’s not an option. Actually, if they say duration of A, it must be the remaining time after B and C overlap. So looks like A is 7 days (Option C). The question might mean total duration, so A = 7 days fits better than 3 or 5 days.
Maybe B, since B and C run together, total is 5 days, leaving 5 days for A?
A imo
