Question

500 soldiers in a Fort had enough food for 30 days after 6 days some soldiers were sent to another fort and thus the food lasted for 32 more days how many soldiers left the Fort

Answer 1

Given that 500 soldiers in a fort had enough food for 30 days
Let the number of soldiers transferred to another fort be x
After 6 days, number of soldiers = (500 – x)
Given that food lasted for 32 more days.
Hence 500 × 24 = (500 – x) × 32
⇒ (500 – x) = 375
⇒ x = 500 – 375 = 125
Thus 125 soldiers were transferred to another fort.

Answer 2

hence, soldiers =125
