TSA TSA Problem Solving 4

Question 1

A shift covers 6:00 AM to 2:00 PM with a mandatory 30-minute unpaid break. How many paid working hours does the officer have?

Accepted Answer

7.5

Answer

The shift spans 8 hours minus a 30-minute break, leaving 7.5 paid hours.

Question 2

Rule: a passenger is cleared only if their name matches the manifest AND their ID is unexpired. Name matches but ID expired last week. Decision?

Accepted Answer

Not cleared

Answer

The expired ID fails one required condition, so the passenger is not cleared.

Question 3

Four bins are filled in rotation: 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4... Which bin receives the 15th item?

Accepted Answer

Bin 3

Answer

15 divided by 4 leaves a remainder of 3, so the 15th item goes to bin 3.

Question 4

A lane's throughput drops 25% during a staff shortage. If normal throughput is 240 passengers per hour, what is the reduced rate?

Accepted Answer

180 per hour

Answer

A 25% reduction removes 60 from 240, leaving 180 passengers per hour.

Question 5
