Answer: 12.5 days
Step-by-step explanation:
Food provision = 20 days
No. of people = 10
Now, more people, less days the food will last
Therefore indirect variation
Now 5 more people joined
Thus new number of people = 20+5 = 25
Let days food will last be x
As indirect variation,
10×25 = 20×x
250 = 20x
x = 250/20 = 12.5
Thus food will last 12.5 days
