No. Of Soldiers =80
No. Of Days. =60
Total Provision =80x60=4800
Now, After 20 days, the provision would be
{(Total) -(Provision for 20 days)}
{4800-(80x20)}
{4800-1600}
{3200}_____(i)
Now after after 20 days, 15 more soldiers are recruited.. in this case total soldiers=80+15=95
Now, let the number of days the food will last be
X (other than 20 passes days)
Now, provision= $X$ x 95 = left provision=3200
X=3200/95=33.68 days
Now
The food will last up for ,X+20=43.68 days
