NUMBER OF PATHS AND CALCULATING THE LONGEST PATH FROM PDM DIAGRAM
There are total 7 paths as shown below:
PATH 1: A+B+C+D+H+I+J+K+L+M+N+R+S+T+U+END= 3+9+5+1+3+1+13+55+1+12+15+25+8+3+1+0=155 Days
PATH 2: A+B+C+D+H+J+K+L+M+N+R+S+T+U+END= 3+9+5+1+3+13+55+1+12+15+25+8+3+1+0 =154 Days
PATH 3: A+B+C+D+E+F+J+K+L+M+N+R+S+T+U+END=3+9+5+1+2+3+13+55+1+12+15+25+8+3+1+0=139 Days
PATH 5: A+D+E+F+J+K+L+M+N+R+S+T+U+END=3+1+2+3+13+55+1+12+15+25+8+1+0= 142 Days
PATH 6: A+F+J+K+L+M+N+R+S+T+U+END=3+1+13+55+1+12+15+25+8+3+1+0= 137 Days
PATH 7: A+G+J+K+L+M+N+R+S+T+U+END= 3+2+13+55+1+12+15+25+8+3+1+0= 140 Days

The longest path in our network diagram is path1with duration of 155 days.
The shortest path is path6 with duration of 137 days.
