Question

In “crashing” a project, a manager will generally focus on activities which:

		are NOT on the critical path
		are the least costly to crash
		are costly to crash and are on the critical path
		are on the critical path and are the least costly to crash
		are the easiest to crash

Answer 1

Crashing of a project is done to reduce duration of a project.

A project will have multiple paths of activities. One of these paths with longest duration is called critical path and others are called non critical path,

If a project needs to be crashed . i.e. its duration needs to be reduced, the critical activity needs to be crashed first

Having chosen the critical path, the manager will focus on crashing the activity which has least cost of crashing .

Therefore , answer would be “ are on the critical path and are the least costly to crash”

ANSWER : ARE ON THE CRITICAL PATH AND ARE THE LEAST COSTLY TO CRASH
