ReplyDeleteWhat you need to know to answer this question:
ReplyDeleteDeadweight = Summer Displacement - Light Ship
Deadweight = 24,500 tons - 13,300 tons = 11,200 tons, so the best answer is B.
In this question does not specify a specific deadweight according to the vessel's loadline so all we can do is take the difference between Heavy Displacement and Light Displacment to determine either the cargo or liquid "deadweight" loaded or discharged.
Some times it pays to just Google a term:

Definition of deadweight. 1 : the unrelieved weight of an inert mass. 2 : dead load. 3 : a ship's load including the total weight of cargo, fuel, stores, crew, and passengers.
