Question

a fort has provision for 300 men for 80 days after 20 days75 men left the fort how long would the food last at the same rate​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let’s assume that there are food packets for every Person for each Day on a 1 Food Packet per Person per Day basis.

Naturally for 300 Men for 80 Days, there would be 24,000 Food Packets.

After 20 Days, 300*20 = 6,000 Food Packets would be consumed thus leaving 18,000 Food Packets.

Since 75 men are leaving, No. of men would be 225.

We have 18,000 Packetss for 225 Men. Now, if we divide 18,000 by 225, we would get the number of days the provision would last further.

So,

18,000 / 225 = 80

Thus, you see that the provision would last for 80 Days is equal to the initial estimate of 80 days.
