Need answer to the question and logic pls. I have a feeling that the exam site has wrong answer to this question. Please explain the answer
Activity A has a FF relationship with Activity B. Activity A has a duration of 7 days. Activity B has duration of 5 Days and 3 days lag. What is the total duration of Activity A and B?

A/7

FF+3
B/5
<
for pure FF relationship
Suppose both activities finished on 7th
for FF +3 relationship
activity B will finish on 10th
thus total duration =
10 days

Related to this, what does FF -n literally translates to, for example FF -3 in above case ?
Can such questions come in exam ?

I concur with SS Pawar...the
I concur with SS Pawar...the durtaion is 10 days.
FF= Task B doesn't finish until Task A is completed.(finished) So 'A' finishes on 7th day so 'B' also should finish on 7th day. Plus the lag of 3 days would add up to 10 days.
