Reducing seat pitch from \( 0.81 \) to \( 0.76 \) m in a \( 24.3 \) m cabin allows how many rows?

  • A.28 rows
  • B.31 rows
  • C.30 rows
  • D.33 rows

Answer: B

Correct answer: 31 rows

Divide the cabin length by the new pitch and take the whole number:

\[ \frac{24.3}{0.76} = 31.97 \rightarrow 31\ \text{rows} \]

At 0.81 m the same cabin gave 30 rows, so the reduction buys one row - six seats at six abreast. The gain is modest because the arithmetic is a ratio: a 6 per cent pitch reduction buys about 3 per cent more rows once the result is rounded down.
