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. When will you complete loading if you continue at the same rate?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) 1305, 14 April.
To arrive at this answer, we need to calculate the rate of loading and then determine the time it will take to complete the remaining 307,000 barrels (530,000 - 223,000).
The rate of loading is calculated by the difference in barrels loaded between 0945 and 1130, which is 21,000 barrels (223,000 - 202,000) over a period of 1 hour and 45 minutes. This equals a loading rate of approximately 12,000 barrels per hour.
Using this loading rate, it will take approximately 25.58 hours (307,000 / 12,000) to complete the remaining 307,000 barrels. Adding this to the start time of 1130 on 13 April results in a completion time of 1305 on 14 April.
The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the time it will take to complete the loading based on the given information and the calculated loading rate.
