Question 2407Deck Safety70% to pass
You have 160 tons of below deck tonnage and 300 tons of above deck cargo on board. You must load 110 tons of liquid mud below deck. How much more deck cargo can you load? See illustration D036DG below.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) 55 tons.
The reasoning is as follows:
1) You have 160 tons of below deck tonnage and must load an additional 110 tons of liquid mud below deck, for a total of 270 tons below deck.
2) The total cargo capacity is 160 tons below deck + 300 tons above deck = 460 tons.
3) Therefore, the remaining deck cargo capacity is 460 tons - 270 tons below deck = 190 tons.
4) Subtracting the 300 tons of existing above deck cargo, the additional deck cargo that can be loaded is 190 tons - 300 tons = 55 tons.
The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately calculate the remaining deck cargo capacity based on the given information.
