Question

1200 men can finish a stock of food in 35 days how many more men should join them so that the same stock lasts for 25 days

​

Answer 1

Let x be the number of addition men required to finish the stock in 25 days.

Since the number of men and the time taken to finish a stock are in inverse variation, we have: 1200×35=25x

=> x = 1200×3525=1680

∴ Required number of men = 1680 – 1200 = 480.

Thus, an additional 480 men should join the existing 1200 men finish the stock in 25 days.
