Statement (I): Critical path(s) through a CPM network can be identified even without working out the backward pass computations by a competent user. Statement (II): Critical path is the progressive chain of activities from start to finish (not excluding between splitting and merging nodes) through the network where Total Float is absent throughout (including through dummy arrows, if appropriate).

Statement (I): Critical path(s) through a CPM network can be identified even without working out the backward pass computations by a competent user. Statement (II): Critical path is the progressive chain of activities from start to finish (not excluding between splitting and merging nodes) through the network where Total Float is absent throughout (including through dummy arrows, if appropriate). Correct Answer Both Statement (I) and Statement (II) are individually true but Statement (II) is not the correct explanation of Statement (I)

Concept:

Critical path is the longest path time-wise which can be determined from forward path method only.

The critical path is the longest path through the network and time along this path gives the project duration. Critical path joins those activities which are critical.

Critical path can be easily determined with the help of total float calculations. The activities on the critical path are those activities that have total float equal to zero.

The activities that control the project duration are the ones that have zero total floats and form a continuous chain or path starting at the first node and ending with the last node.

Both Statement (I) and Statement (II) are individually true but Statement (II) is not the correct explanation of Statement (I).

Read the passage carefully and select the best answer to each question out of the given four alternatives. One should consciously engage in activities that will nourish your soul. Just as we nourish the body, we need to nurture the soul to connect to the creative power ofthe universe and to manifest joy in our lives. Often, we forget to address the soul, lost as we are in a jungle of material and sensual pleasures. But the more youembrace what feeds your soul, the happier you become. So if you want to enjoy the abundance of life, engage in what enriches your soul. Nurturing the soul is allabout finding calm amidst chaos. There are a number of practices that empower people towards this end including silent contemplation, various forms of meditation,yoga and tai chi However, the rigor and discipline involved in the pursuit of such practices often seems to discourage people. Add to this, the temptations of thematerial world that leave little time and motivation for anyone to pursue the spiritual path. Poet Walt Whitman declared: “Whatever satisfies the soul is truth”. Thegood news is that simple, everyday activities can also nutrify the soul — like spending time in the midst of nature, dancing in the rain or just putting thoughts onpaper. Do whatever is calming and pleases you. Creative pursuits are particularly appealing as inside each one of us, there is an artist craving for release andawaiting an opportunity for expression. One of the ways to indulge the artist within is to get started with the practice of any one or more of the creative art formssuch as music, singing, dancing, acting, drawing, painting, sculpting, poetry, fiction or essay writing. When you engage in such soul nourishing activities, all thought and energy gets focused toward goal accomplishment. At this point, you will find that even unknownforces of the universe are conniving to assist you in your amateurish but sincere attempts. As you progress, you are motivated to do better. You touch and access afaculty, a part of you that you never knew existed. Your inner artist is unleashed, baring the beauty of your soul that has found a fond medium of expression. Forinstance, a sculptors soul is seen in his artwork; a musicians in his compositions; an actors in his acting, a painters in his paintings and so on. It is immaterialwhether your effort is an immaculate artwork or just a clumsy attempt by a layperson. The idea is to try, be inspired and to create giving free rein to the mind. AsMichelangelo remarked: “I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free”! What activities can nutrify soul?
