More details to this question:
I am completing a provisional patent application (PPA). If my invention is found to be patentable but my alternative variation is found to be not patentable, is my PPA still valid for my orignal invention described in the PPA?

Yes but lets get 1 thing straight - a provisional patent application is not examined - you will never be told from the filing of a provisional that your idea is patentable.
