In critical path method, when a particular task is performed, it is called: Correct Answer Activity

An activity is defined as the actual performance of a task which consumes time and requires resources (such as labor, materials, space, machinery). It can be understood as representing the time, effort, and resources required to move from one event to another. An activity cannot be performed until the predecessor event has occurred.

In a press there are three types of printing machines A, B, and C. Machine A can print ten thousand pages in 8 hours, machine B can do the same task in 10 hours, and machine C can do the same task in 12 hours. All three machines start the task at 9∶00 a.m. Machine A breaks down at 11∶00 a.m. and machines B and C continue working. At 12∶00 noon machine B also breaks down and machine C alone has to complete the remaining task. What is the approximate time of completion of the task?
