Question

a fort had provision for 260 men for 35 days after 5 days 10 men left after that how much food left for same rate
​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let there be P persons at the fort and let them consume 1kg food per day.

=> Food available = 35P kgs

Food consumed in 5 days = 5P

Food remaining =(35 - 5) = 30P

Number of persons NOW = P + 225

Food consumed in 25 days = 25(P + 225)

=> 25(P + 225) = 30P

5P =225 x 25

P = 225 x 25/5 = 1125
