You are loading 530,000 barrels of cargo oil. At 0945 on 13 April, you find that you have loaded 202,000 barrels. At 1130, you find that you have loaded 223,000 barrels. If you continue at the same rate, you will finish at __________.

Correct Answer: Option D — 1305, 14 April

Cargo loading calculations determine completion times by establishing the loading rate. Here, 21,000 barrels are loaded in 1.75 hours, establishing a rate of 12,000 barrels per hour. Dividing the remaining 307,000 barrels by this rate yields 25 hours and 35 minutes, projecting completion at 1305 on 14 April.
