Solution

Given that 1200 soldiers in a fort had enough food for 28 days Let the number of soldiers transferred to another fort be x After 4 days, number of soldiers = (1200 – x) Given that food lasted for 32 more days. Hence 1200 × 24 = (1200 – x) × 32 ⇒ (1200 – x) = 900 ⇒ x = 1200 – 900 = 300 Thus 300 soldiers were transferred to another fort.
