Question 1050 Deck General

The correct answer is B) 1104, 6 November. To arrive at this answer, we need to calculate the rate of loading and then use that to determine the time when the full 465,000 barrels will be loaded. From the information provided, we know that 203,000 barrels were loaded by 1030 on 5 November, and 219,000 barrels were loaded by 1200 on the same day. This means that 16,000 barrels were loaded in the 1.5 hours between 1030 and 1200, which equates to a loading rate of approximately 10,667 barrels per hour. Assuming this loading rate remains constant, it will take an additional 242,000 barrels (465,000 - 219,000) to be loaded, which at a rate of 10,667 barrels per hour will take approximately 22.7 hours. Adding this to the time of 1200 on 5 November, we arrive at the approximate completion time of 1104 on 6 November. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the calculated completion time based on the provided information and loading rate.
