Question 83. . Consider the following definitions regarding slacks of project activities 1. The difference between the late start and early start times of a job is called the total slack. 2. The critical path is one whose jobs have zero total slack 3. The amount of time by which a job can be delayed without affecting the early start time of any job is called the free slack 4. The difference between the total slack of an activity and the minimum total slack of all its immediate successors is called free slack. Of these definitions:
