Many wrong answers here.
Examples,
Question: a ladder 18 feet long is leaning against a wall that is perpendicular to level ground . the bottom of the ladder is 6 feet from the base of the wall . if the top of the ladder slips down 4 feet , how many feet will the bottom of the ladder slip ?
Answer: a
Options: a ) 12.5 , b ) 15 , c ) 18 , d ) 19 , e ) 25
The correct answer is ~6.48 which is not an option

Question: a contractor undertakes to complete the construction of a tunnel 720 meters long in 240 days and employs 60 men for the purpose . after 120 days , he finds that only 240 meters of the tunnel is complete . how many more men should be employ in order to complete the work in time ?
Answer: b
Options: a ) 22 , b ) 27 , c ) 60 , d ) 88 , e ) 12
Correct answer is option c 60.

My guess is countless RL and SFT GPU hours have already been spent on this erroneous data
Please fix or delete the dataset.

Below are the aqua_rat versions of these. First is correct here, second faulty logic ( the question is how many feet slipped).

A contractor undertakes to complete the construction of a tunnel 720 meters long in 240 days and employs 60 men for the purpose. After 120 days, he finds that only 240 meters of the tunnel is complete. How many more men should be employ in order to complete the work in time?
[ "A)76 men", "B)60 men", "C)78 men", "D)87 men", "E)75 men" ]
In 120days, only 240m of the tunnel is constructed by 60 men. The remaining 120days, 480m of the tunnel can be constructed by 120 men. Additional number of men required = 120 - 60 = 60 men. Answer: B

A ladder 18 feet long is leaning against a wall that is perpendicular to level ground. The bottom of the ladder is 6 feet from the base of the wall. If the top of the ladder slips down 4 feet, how many feet will the bottom of the ladder slip?
[ "A)12.5", "B)15", "C)18", "D)19", "E)25" ]
18^2-6^2=288 it means that the height is equal to 16.9. since the top of the ladder slips down 4 feet, then the height of the wall =16.9-4=12.9 the bottom =sqrt(18^2-12.9^2)=sqrt(324-166.41)=12.5 ans is A

Hey @smartsurfer , thank you for sharing this with us, we'll look into this.

Another example since I was seeing the same problem:
"a thief goes away with a santro car at a speed of 50 kmph . the theft has been discovered after half an hour and the owner sets off in a bike at 60 kmph when will the owner over take the thief from the start ?"
The options are badly formatted and repeated: a) a) 2, b) b) 5, c) c) 7, d) d) 5, e) e) 8
The answer is not available, which is 3h.

I have at least 2 more examples, and I wasn't being thorough - but can contribute more if needed.
