Question

1500 soldiers in a camp had enough food for 30 days. After 5 days some soldiers left. The remaining
food lasted for 25 more days. ​

Answer 1

Total no. of soldiers left = 429

Given:

•          1,500 soldiers in a camp.
•         After 5 days, some soldiers left.
•         The remaining food  lasted for 35 more days.

Explanation:

•    For 1500 soldiers enough food for 30 days.  
•    Total quantity of food initially present in the camp =  1,500×30
•                                                                                             =45,000
•    Now after 5 days =  1,500×5 =7,500 quantity of food is used.
•    So remaining food =45,000-7,500
•                                        =37,500 quantity of food is remain.
•    This quantity of food is remain lasted for 35 more day
•    Hence no. of soldiers lasted for this food for 35 days = 37,500/35

                                                                                            = 1071 soldiers.

   So total no. of soldiers left = 1500-1071

                                                    = 429

Answer 2
