PK0-005 Practice Question: Refer to the exhibit

Exhibit

Project Network Diagram - Path Durations:
Path 1: Task A (5d) -> Task C (3d) -> Task E (2d) -> Task G (4d) = 14 days
Path 2: Task B (4d) -> Task D (4d) -> Task F (3d) -> Task H (2d) = 13 days
No dependencies between paths.

Refer to the exhibit. What is the total float for Task D?

Answer choices

Why each option matters

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.

Correct answer & explanation

1 day

The critical path is Path 1 (14 days). Task D is on Path 2 with a duration of 13 days. Total float = critical path duration - non-critical path duration = 14 - 13 = 1 day.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

  • 0 days

    Why it's wrong here

    Task D is not on the critical path, so float is not zero.

  • 2 days

    Why it's wrong here

    Incorrect calculation.

  • 3 days

    Why it's wrong here

    Incorrect calculation.

  • 1 day

    Why this is correct

    Float = 14 - 13 = 1 day.

Same concept, more angles

1 more way this is tested on PK0-005

These questions test the same concept from different angles. Work through them to make sure you can recognise it however the exam phrases it.

Variation 1. Which phase has the most total float?

medium
  • A.Phase B
  • B.Phase A
  • C.Phase D
  • D.Phase C

Why D: Phase C is correct because in a typical project schedule, the phase with the most total float is the one that can be delayed the longest without affecting the project's overall completion date. Total float is calculated as the difference between the late start and early start (or late finish and early finish) of an activity. Phase C has the highest total float value, indicating it has the greatest scheduling flexibility.
