    The document describes a construction project with 10 activities (A-J). It provides the normal and crash durations and costs for each activity. The critical path is activities A, B, E, G, H, and J. Crashing different non-critical activities reduces the project duration but increases costs. Crashing activity A reduces the duration from 35 to 32 weeks at the lowest total cost of Rs. 278,000. Further crashing increases costs.
