Question

1500 army troopsin a fort had enough food for 50 days. after 20 days some members of the troops were transferred to another place and thus the food lasted for 10 more days . how many members of troopd left the Fort.

Answer 1

There is enough food for 500 soldiers for 30 days. Say that each soldier has one unit of food a day. So there are 500 units for one day and 500 × 30 = 15000 units for the 30 days. So as per the question after 6 days some soldiers left the fort, it means 500 × 6 = 3000 units are consumed by the time some soldiers left. Total unit left = 15000 - 3000 = 12000 units. Now we know that x units are consumed a day, and the food lasted for 32 days more. so the following formula is used to solve this problem.
Number of soldiers left × Days of food will last = Unit of left
x × 32 = 12000
x = 12000 ÷ 32
x = 375 
375 soldiers left in the fort.
500 - 375 = 125 soldiers had left the fort.

Answer 2

Answer: Answer is 375.

Step-by-step explanation:No fruits in fort is equals to 1500. Number of days 50 days. Number of remaining days 50 - 20 equals to 30. Number of troops transferred food lasted for 10 days more.

Total number of troops ×number of remaining days =number of remaining troops× number of last days

1500×30=1500-x×40

You get 1125.

Former member of proof left the phone you have to subtract remaining troops that means 1125 from 1500. You will get answer.
