1. The problem asks whether the statement "In PERT, the earliest start time for an activity is equal to the latest of the earliest finish times of all of its immediate successors" is true or false. 2. In PERT (Program Evaluation and Review Technique), the earliest start time (EST) of an activity is actually determined by the earliest finish times of its immediate predecessors, not successors. 3. The earliest start time for an activity is the maximum of the earliest finish times of all its immediate predecessors because an activity cannot start until all its predecessors are finished. 4. The latest start time (LST) and latest finish time (LFT) are calculated by looking at successors, but the earliest start time depends on predecessors. 5. Therefore, the statement is false. Final answer: B. False
