Answer no:-3 critical path activity has a minimum duration of time, in critical activity float will be zero(0) means we cant delay date of that activity because float is zero(0) mean there will not any flexibility.thats why called a Critical path activity.

Constrains in primavera is to fix the early or late start or finish date of an activity as per following options:
1) Project Must Finish by
2) Mandatory Start / Mandatory Finish
3) Start / Finish On or After
4) Start / Finish On or Before
5) Start / Finish On
6) Expected Finish
7) ALAP
Q3:How can you define the Critical Path in primavera?
The sequence of activities which describe the longest path from the data date to the end of the project. In a schedule without any constraints, this will be all activities with zero total float.
(if you have constrains which force negative float, simply filtering on total float equal to or less than zero can bring up activities which are not on the critical path)
Q7:How do u measure & compare the progress using primavera?
Progress is measured primarily against the baseline. If the baseline has been loaded with cost and/or resources, earned value management can be used for this purpose. If not, progress is measured as variance to baseline dates.
Other progress measurement techniques also exist –for example Earned Schedule.
Q9:What is an S – Curve and how to create S Curve in primavera?
An S-curve is a graph showing cumulative cost or value (measured in terms of money or manhours) against time. On a typical project, these graphs follow an “S” shape, hence the name. Typical data to be plotted on an S-Curve includes:
Actual Cost (ACWP)
Planned Value (BCWS) –Early dates
Planned Value (BCWS) –Late dates
Earned Value (BCWP)
Forecast Value –Early dates
Forecast value –Late dates
Forecast Cost –Early dates
Forecast cost –Late dates
(it’s not a histogram. –A histogram is a bar graph of the in-period values. the S-curve is the line-graph of the cumulative values)
