Selected Answer: C
Even if A → E finishes in 22 days, the project is not done until A → C → D finishes in 27 days -> THE EARLIEST

Activity: B-D= 12+9=21 Activity A-C-D= 10+8+9=27 Activity A-E= 10+12=22 Critical Path= Longest Path among all possible ways to reach final destination (which is 27 days for A-C-D)

Critical Path is the longest path among the three paths, which is ACD. I got it in less than a minute

Tricky. Apparently, the shorter should consider passing thru all nodes, without jumping any of them

The longest path is ACD. You can't complete the project if C is not completed.
