Answer #1

For any activity, the slack is the difference between the earliest finish and earliest start or the latest finish and latest start. For activity E, the earliest finish and earliest start is 8 and 5. Hence the slack is 8-5 is 3. The difference between latest finish and latest start should also be 3. Hence we have 11 - Latest Start = 3. Hence Latest start for E is 11-3 = 8.

Thus the latest start time for activity E is 8.
