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?

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.
