Answer 1

Answer:

there are 1000 soldiers

food 20 day

so, 1000/ 20 = 50 s

so , 50 soldiers is answer

Answer 2

Answer:

200 soldiers were transferred.

Step-by-step explanation:

As number of food lasted days increased the no of soldiers will decrease so this is an Inverse Proportion.

so we will apply formula i.e.

x1y1 = x2y2

So

20×1000 = 25×y2

So

20×1000÷25 = y2

y2 = 800

No. of soldiers transferred =

1000 - 800

=200

So, 200 soldiers were transferred
