Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM) — Question 37

For a 10-day project, activity B's duration is three days, and activity C's duration is two days. What is the duration of activity A if activities B and C are performed in parallel?

Answer options

• A. 3 days
• B. 5 days
• C. 7 days
• D. 10 days

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Since activities B and C are performed in parallel, the total time spent on them is determined by the longer of the two durations, which is 3 days for B. Therefore, activity A must take the remaining time of the project, which is 10 days minus the 3 days for B, leaving 7 days for activity A. The other options do not account for the correct calculation of the remaining duration.
