Ans 1= 120 Men - 195 days (provision left after 5 days)
30 men killed
Men left - 90 Days - D
so 120 x 195 = 90 x D
D= 260 days

Answer:
260 days
Step-by-step explanation:
No. of men in the 1st case = 120
No. of men in the 2nd case = (120-30) = 90
No. of days in 1st case = (200-5) = 195 days
No. of days in 2nd case = x
This is a case of inverse proportion, as the food will last for more days if the men are less. Hence, xy will be a constant.
⇒ 195 * 120 = 90x
⇒ x = (195 * 120)/90 = 260 days
Hence, the food will last for 260 days.
