Question 2407 Deck Safety

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.
