Question

800 soldiers in a fort had enough food for 15 days. But some soldiers were transferred to another Fort and the food lasted for 20days.How many soldiers were transferred to another Fort?

Answer 1

Answer:

200 soldiers

Step-by-step explanation:

Total Soldiers=800

Days=15

If the days =20

Here,

Soldiers are inversely proportional to no.of days,

Therefore,

Let the soldiers remaining in the fort=X

800/X=20/15

800×15/20=X

12000/20=600

Therefore,

No.of soldiers transferred to another court=800-X

=800-600=200

Soldiers are inversely proportional to no.of days,

Therefore,

Let the soldiers remaining in the fort=X

800/X=20/15

800×15/20=X

12000/20=600

Therefore,

No.of soldiers transferred to another court=800-X

=800-600=200
