Question

A garrison of 1200 men has provision for 60 days. How long will they last if the garrison reinforced by 800 men​

Answer 1

Answer:

1200 men ------- 60 days

1 man ------- 1/20 days

1200+800 men ------- 36 days

Answer 2

Answer is 36 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let ,one man eat one roti a day then 1200 men eat 1200 roti a day and eat 1200 × 60 =72,000 roti in 60 days.

Hence, there are 72,000 roti here.

So if 800 men increase then there are 1200+800= 2000 men.

So, 2000 men eat 72,000 roti in 72,000/2000 = 36 days.
