Question 2410Deck Safety70% to pass
You have 400 tons of below deck tonnage and 100 tons of above deck cargo on board. You must load 160 tons of liquid mud below deck. How much more deck cargo can you load? See illustration D036DG below.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) 135 tons.
The reasoning is as follows:
1. You have 400 tons of below deck tonnage and 100 tons of above deck cargo already on board.
2. You must load an additional 160 tons of liquid mud below deck.
3. The total below deck tonnage is now 400 + 160 = 560 tons.
4. The maximum allowable below deck tonnage is 600 tons, so you have 600 - 560 = 40 tons of additional below deck capacity.
5. Therefore, you can load an additional 135 tons of deck cargo (100 tons already loaded + 40 tons additional capacity).
The other options are incorrect because:
A) 85 tons is too low, as you have 40 tons of additional below deck capacity.
C) 195 tons is too high, as the total below deck tonnage would exceed the 600 ton limit.
D) 245 tons is too high, as the total below deck tonnage would exceed the 600 ton limit.
