Question

A camp has enough provisions for 150 members to last for 28 days. If 50 more members join in the camp, how long will the provisions last?

Answer 1

Answer:

Let x members join the the camp after 17 days

The quantity of food remains the same

50 x 2200

Food consumed by 2200 members in 17 days is 2200 x 17

remaining food

50 x 2200- 17x 2200

=33 x 2200

NOw x soldiers joined the cam due to which the food has been consumed in 20 days only

33 x 2200 = 20 x (2200 +x)

x=1430
