b. Identify all of the paths on the network diagram and write down how long they are. C E F H J K L 14+7+5+4+10+15+10 = 65 C E G I J K L 14+7+7+4+10+15+10 = 67
c. What is the critical path for this group of activities and how long it is?
C E G I J K L 14+7+7+4+10+15+10 = 67
d. What is the shortest possible time it will take to complete this group of activities? The shortest time possible= 65 days
e. Calculate the slack time for one path in the network diagram which is not the critical path.

slack time for one path in the network diagram which is not the critical path = 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 3 + 3+ 2 = 16 days Slack time for route other than the critical path is 16 days
