You are loading 530,000 barrels of cargo oil. At 0945 on 13 April, you find that you have loaded 202,000 barrels. At 1130, you find that you have loaded 223,000 barrels. If you continue at the same rate, you will finish at _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) 1305, 14 April.
To arrive at this answer, we need to calculate the remaining amount of cargo oil to be loaded and the time it will take to load it at the current rate.
Given information:
- Total cargo oil to be loaded: 530,000 barrels
- Loaded by 0945 on 13 April: 202,000 barrels
- Loaded by 1130 on 13 April: 223,000 barrels
The rate of loading between 0945 and 1130 is 223,000 - 202,000 = 21,000 barrels per 2 hours and 45 minutes.
Remaining cargo oil to be loaded = 530,000 - 223,000 = 307,000 barrels
Time to load the remaining cargo oil at the same rate = 307,000 / (21,000 / 2.75 hours) = 14 hours
Therefore, the loading will be completed at 1305 on 14 April.
The other options are incorrect because:
A) 1322, 13 April: This would be too early to complete the loading based on the given information.
B) 1920, 13 April: This would be too late to complete the loading based on the given information.
C) 1120, 14 April: This would be too early to complete the loading based on the given information.
