A podcaster edits an episode in 3 hours. If audio quality requires 50% more editing time, how long for 4 episodes?
Correct answer: C. 18
- A. 16
- B. 17
- C. 18
- D. 20
Explanation
To solve the problem, start by calculating the increased editing time for one episode. If it takes 3 hours to edit one episode, a 50% increase means an additional 1.5 hours are needed, totaling 4.5 hours per episode. For 4 episodes, multiply 4.5 hours by 4, resulting in 18 hours. Option C is correct because it accurately reflects this calculation. Option A assumes no increase in editing time, Option B doesn't fully account for the increase, and Option D overestimates the increase.

About Logical Problems
Logical problems present several conditions about people, objects, events or choices and require their possible arrangements to be tested. They cover constraint-based reasoning, rankings, matching, grouping, scheduling and elimination, with attention to the difference between a complete solution and a possibility that merely satisfies one condition.
