  • Question
  • Pick up the correct statement from the following:


  • Options
  • A. The float may be positive, zero or negative
  • B. If the float is positive and the activity is delayed by a period equal to its total float, the completion of project is not delayed
  • C. If the float of an activity is negative, delay in its performance is bound to delay the completion of project
  • D. If the float of an activity is zero, the activity is critical and any delay in its performance will delay the whole project
  • E. All the above.
