Verified Answer :

Answer: Option 'B' is correct.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of pallets worker moved in a warehouse = 108

Number of hours it takes to do so  = 4.5

Rate at which they require to move one pallet is given by

\(\frac{4.5}{108}\times 60\ minutes=2.5\ minutes\)

Now, if the worker will be off the clock in 2 hours ,

So, number of pallets he can move before quitting time is given by

\(\text{ In 4.5 hours, number of pallets they moved}=108\\\\\text{ In 1 hour, number of pallets they moved}=\frac{108}{4.5}=24\\\\\text{ In 2 hours, number of pallets they moved}=24\times 2=48\)

Hence, Option 'B' is correct.
