10 days is way off, it's parallel work!

I agree, 3 days makes sense.

7 days seems too long for A.
TI

Definitely 3 days, B and C overlap.
CA

I feel like it could be 5 days.
CE

Definitely 3 days, no doubt about it!

I think it's actually 5 days, right?

A should be 3 days since B and C are parallel.

Wait, is this a trick question? I'm so confused, but I'll go with B) 5 days. Sounds like the most reasonable answer.

Haha, this question is a real brain-teaser. I'm going to go with C) 7 days, just to be on the safe side.

A) 3 days. The question is a trick! Since B and C are done in parallel, the duration of A must be the longest of the three, which is 3 days.

D) 10 days. If the project duration is 10 days and the other two activities are done in parallel, then activity A must take the full 10 days.

C) 7 days. The question states that activities B and C are performed in parallel, so the duration of A must be the remaining time.
DI

B) 5 days. Seems logical since the project duration is 10 days and the other two activities take 5 days in total.

I’m leaning towards 7 days for A because it seems like it needs to account for both B and C somehow, but I’m not entirely confident.

I practiced a similar question where parallel tasks didn't add up directly. I feel like A could be 5 days, but I could be wrong.

I remember something about adding durations when activities are in series, but since B and C are parallel, I’m not sure how that affects A.

I think if B and C are done in parallel, A's duration might depend on the longest one, which is B at 3 days?
NO
Nobuko

I think I've got it! Since B and C are done in parallel, the total duration of the project is the maximum of their durations, which is 3 days for B. So the duration of A must be 3 days as well. I'll go with A) 3 days.

Hmm, this is tricky. I'm not sure if the parallel nature of B and C affects the duration of A or not. I'll have to think about this a bit more before answering.

Activity B takes 3 days, C takes 2 days.
BE

Okay, let me think this through. The project is 10 days total, and activities B and C are done in parallel, so the duration of A must be the longest of the three, which is 3 days for activity B. I'll go with A) 3 days.

I think it's 3 days.

Wait, is it really just 3 days? That seems too short!
KA
Kaycee

I'm a bit confused. If activities B and C are performed in parallel, shouldn't the duration of activity A be the maximum of the two, which is 3 days? I'm not sure about this one.
RA

Hmm, this seems straightforward. I think I'll go with B) 5 days since the project is 10 days and the other two activities take 3 and 2 days respectively.
ZA
Zachary

But if they overlap, wouldn't A just take the longest of the two?
MA
Margot

I still believe it's B) 5 days. The total time is split.
CO
Corinne

Exactly! So, A should be the longest, right?
NI
Nieves

I see your point, but I think it's A) 3 days.
BL

Why do you think that? B and C are happening at the same time.
