Answer 1

Answer:

The provisions will last now for 12.5 days

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that 1000 men have provisions for 15 days

200 more men join them

So, No. of men = 1000+200 = 1200

Let x be the no. days will the provisions last now

So, ATQ

1000 * 15 = 1200 * x

1000 * 15/1200 = x

25/2 = x

12.5 = x

Hence the provisions will last now for 12.5 days

Question:

1000 men have provisions for 15 days. If 200 more men join them, for how many days will the provisions last now?

Answer:

$\underline{\green{\sf Given:- }}$

1. 1000 men have provisions for 15 days
2. 200 more men join them

So, number of men= 1000+200=1200

$\underline{\purple{\sf To\:Find:- }}$

• Number of days in which the provisions will fall...

$\underline{\purple{\sf Assume:- }}$

$\rightarrow$ Let x be the no. days will the provisions last

$\underline{\red{\sf Solution:- }}$

According to the question:

$1000{\times}15=1200{\times}x$

x= $\displaystyle\frac{1000{\times}15}{1200}$

x= 12.5

Hence, the provisions will last now for 12.5 days
