26. A garrison of 900 soldiers had food-stock sufficient
for 30 days when the rate of consumption is
2.5 kg/day/soldier. After some days of consumption
at that rate, 300 soldiers were transferred to another
garrison and the balance food lasted for 25 days for
the remaining soldiers. If the rate of consumption of
the remaining soldiers was 3.0 kg/dayl soldier, after
how many days from the start, were the soldiers
transferred?

Answer:
10 days
Step-by-step explanation:
Initial consumption per day=900*2.5=2250 kg
Total amount of food =2250*30=67500 kg
after few days remaining soldier=900-300=600
total food remaining for 25 days with new consumption rate= 600*3*25=45000 kg
in initial days food consumed=67500-45000=22500 kg
days elapsed=22500/2250=10
