if it operates from 10 to 1030 thats 30 minutes, ergo 30 times a car comes to the platform!. however, all the riders have to be off before the ride shuts down, so the last 10 minutes are only people getting off, and not on!. that leaves us 20 minutes of people getting on!. if two get on each minute, that gives us 40 riders!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
the answer is 600!.!.!. its not impossible!.!.!. but thats only if after one full rotation the people in the car get off because than the answer is, of course, 2*10*30=600!.!.!. 2*10=20*30=600!. one rotation per min!. 1 cart takes 2 people per 30 mins in all would be 60 people!. multiply by 10 would be 600!.
1 min is 20
2 is 40
3 is 60
4 is 80
5 is 100
6 is 120
7 is 140
8 is 160
9 is 180
10 is 200
15 is 300
20 is 400
30 is 600

at 10:10 the first two get off and then it's 2 per minute after that until 10:30 so calculate all that in and it's 42 people is the answerWww@Enter-QA@Com
