Question

11. A garrison of 900 men had provisions for 42 days. However, a reinforcement of 500 men arrived. For how many days will the food last now?
number 11​

Answer 1

SOLUTION -

LET THE REQUIRED NUMBER OF DAYS BE X.

MORE MEN = LESS DAYS ( INVERSE VARIATION)

TOTAL NUMBER OF MEN = 900 + 500 = 1400

So,

=> 1400 : 900 :: 42 : x

=> 1400 * x = 900 * 42

(Extreme * Extreme, Mean * Mean )

=> x = 900 * 42 / 1400

=> x = 37800/1400

=> x = 27 Days.

So, the food will last for 27 days, when a reinforcement of 500 men arrived.

HOPE IT HELPS!!!!
