The critical path that can be determined from the network plan is as below:
A10A20A30A40B10B20B30B60B70C10C40C50D10D
50D60E10E20E30E40E50E60E70F10F20F30
The overall duration of the project is longest for the defined path hence it is considered as
the critical path.
The activities that are on the critical path are listed as below:
