You are in the process of loading 465,000 barrels of cargo oil. At 1030, on 5 November, you gauge the vessel and find that you have loaded 203,000 barrels. At 1200 you find that you have loaded 218,000 barrels. If you continue loading at the same rate, you will finish at approximately _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) 1242, 6 November.
To explain the reasoning:
1) The vessel is loading 465,000 barrels of cargo oil.
2) At 1030 on 5 November, 203,000 barrels have been loaded.
3) At 1200 on 5 November, 218,000 barrels have been loaded.
4) The rate of loading between 1030 and 1200 is 218,000 - 203,000 = 15,000 barrels per 1.5 hours, or 10,000 barrels per hour.
5) Continuing at this rate, it will take an additional 24.7 hours to load the remaining 247,000 barrels (465,000 - 218,000).
6) Adding 24.7 hours to 1200 on 5 November results in 1242 on 6 November, making C the correct answer.
The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately calculate the time required to complete the remaining loading based on the provided information.
