Answer:
24 days
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
A garrison of 120 men has provision for 30 days.
total=120 men*30 days
At the end of 5 days, 5 more men joined them.
at the end of 5 days so,120 men got food for 5 days
120 men*5 days
after 5 days 5 more men joined now the men are (120+5)=125
How many days can they sustain on the remaining provision?
let x be days
total=120 men*5 days+125 men* x days
120 men*30 days=120 men*5 days+125 men* x days
x days=24
