CAPE Applied Mathematics Unit 2 · 2018 · Paper 2 · Question 1(a)(v)

A table provides activities, durations, and precedence relations for a project.

Assume that the duration of Activity C is increased to 6 days. Determine which activities are now critical, and the new minimum time for completion of the project.

This question uses a figure or table from the paper — you'll see it when you practise.
