Question

"

If L_j = the latest occurrence time for event j,

E_i = the earliest occurrence time for event i,

T_ij = the duration of activity \( \overrightarrow{ij}\),

What is the total float for activity \( \overrightarrow{ij}\)?

1.

E_i – L_j T_ij

2. L_j – E_i - T_ij
3. T_ij – E_i - L_j
4. T_ij – L_j + E_i"

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 2 : L_j – E_i - T_ij

Explanation:

Total floats is the maximum amount of time an activity can be delayed without delaying project.

Total floats calculated separately for each activity.

F_T = Maximum available time – Activity time

F_T = (L_j - E_i) - T_ij

∴ F_T = Lj - E_j - T_ij
