AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) 65 tons.
The explanation is as follows:
1. Confirm the correct answer: B) 65 tons is the correct answer.
2. Explanation of the reasoning: According to the regulations, the total cargo capacity is limited to 570 tons (360 tons below deck + 210 tons above deck). With 100 tons of liquid mud to be loaded below deck, the remaining below deck capacity is 360 - 100 = 260 tons. The above deck capacity is 210 tons. Therefore, the remaining deck cargo that can be loaded is 210 - (360 - 260) = 65 tons.
3. Explanation of why the other options are incorrect:
A) 25 tons is incorrect because the remaining deck cargo capacity is 65 tons.
C) 95 tons is incorrect because the remaining deck cargo capacity is 65 tons.
D) 175 tons is incorrect because the total cargo capacity is limited to 570 tons, and the remaining deck cargo capacity is 65 tons.
