6 A project is represented by the activity on arc network below.

The duration of each activity (in minutes) is shown in brackets, apart from activity I.
- Suppose that the minimum completion time for the project is 15 minutes.
- By calculating the early event times, determine the range of values for \(x\).
- By calculating the late event times, determine which activities must be critical.
The table shows the number of workers needed for each activity.
| Activity | A | B | C | D | E | F | G | H | I | J | K |
| Workers | 2 | 1 | 1 | 2 | \(n\) | 1 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 4 |
- Determine the maximum possible value for \(n\) if 5 workers can complete the project in 15 minutes. Explain your reasoning.
The duration of activity F is reduced to 1.5 minutes, but only 4 workers are available. The minimum completion time is no longer 15 minutes.
- Determine the minimum project completion time in this situation.
- Find the maximum possible value for \(x\) for this minimum project completion time.
- Find the maximum possible value for \(n\) for this minimum project completion time.
