Question

A garrison of 1200 men has provisions for 40 days. How many days

will the provisions last if 800 more men join the garrison?​

Answer 1

40days = 1200men

1men = 40/1200days

1200+800 men = 40/1200days ×2000

2000men can provision 66.3333 days

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

$\large \blue{ \mid{ \fbox{ \tt{Answer= 20 days}}\mid}}$

$\large \blue{ \mid{ \fbox{ \tt{Given:-}}\mid}}$

A garrison have 1200 men's already

Provisions of days for 1200 men's: 40 days

$\large \blue{ \mid{ \fbox{ \tt{To find:-}}\mid}}$

If 800 Mens Are Added in 1200 mens in garrison

So How many days will the provisions last.

$\large \blue{ \mid{ \fbox{ \tt{</em><em>Solution</em><em>:</em><em>-</em><em>}}\mid}}$

We will divide 40 with 800

800÷40

20

Now We will Find that in which table of 20 does 1200 comes

So,

1200÷60

20

So Hence The Provisions will last for 20 Days.
