A bulldozer can move 100 cubic meters of loose soil with ideal conditions. If the actual conditions require a correction factor of 0.7 for soil density, 0.9 for operator skill, and 0.85 for visibility, calculate the corrected productivity.
💡 Hint: Multiply all the correction factors with the ideal productivity.
If the hourly cost of running a bulldozer is 1200 rupees, and the productivity in bank cubic meters is 30, what is the cost per bank cubic meter?
💡 Hint: Divide the total cost by the productivity in bank cubic meters.
