Step-by-step explanation:
Given that 1000 soldiers have enough food for 180 days.
Hence After 20 days, the remaining food is sufficient for 180 - 20 = 160 days.
Given Remaining soldiers after 20 days = 1000 + 600 = 1600.
Let the remaining food be x.
1000 : 1600 :: x : 160
1000 * 160 = 1600x
160000 = 1600x
x = 100 days.
The remaining food lasts for 100 days

Answer:
1000 soldiers can eat the food =( 180-20=160) days
1 soldiers can eat the food = 1000×160days
1600 soldiers can eat the food = 1000×160/ 1600 days
= 100 days
