Question 1252 Deck General

The correct answer is D) 1305, 14 April. To arrive at this answer, we need to calculate the remaining amount of cargo oil to be loaded and the time it will take to load it at the current rate. Given information: - Total cargo oil to be loaded: 530,000 barrels - Loaded by 0945 on 13 April: 202,000 barrels - Loaded by 1130 on 13 April: 223,000 barrels The rate of loading between 0945 and 1130 is 223,000 - 202,000 = 21,000 barrels per 2 hours and 45 minutes. Remaining cargo oil to be loaded = 530,000 - 223,000 = 307,000 barrels Time to load the remaining cargo oil at the same rate = 307,000 / (21,000 / 2.75 hours) = 14 hours Therefore, the loading will be completed at 1305 on 14 April. The other options are incorrect because: A) 1322, 13 April: This would be too early to complete the loading based on the given information. B) 1920, 13 April: This would be too late to complete the loading based on the given information. C) 1120, 14 April: This would be too early to complete the loading based on the given information.
