QUESTION 3 In a deterministic model, which of the following statements coneerning crashing is correet? O A. The duration represented by the eritical path cormesponds to the project's minimum duration. If a project is crashed to its optimum duration, the network cannot contain more than one eritical path. ° C. For valid crashing, cost tradeoffs are not required. 0 D, Crashing should be started on the critical path with the activity with the most expensive crashing cost. QUESTION 4 The...

Which one is not correct about the critical path method (CPM) in project management? Duration of a project is equal to the duration of its critical path. There could be more than one critical paths. Crashing a project is shortening the duration of the critical activities. The tasks on the critical path can be delayed without delaying the project duration. Slack times of activities on a critical path are zero.
