Question

A garrison of 1200 men has sufficient rations for 25 days at the rate of 2400g per man per day.If 300 men join them and rations are reduced to 2000g per man per day how long will the food last all of them?

Answer 1

Thank you for asking this question. Here is your answer:

1500 men at 2Kg/man day  means 3000 Kg needed per day

1200 x 2.4 Kg/man day *25 days

= 72,000 Kg available

3000 x number of days = 72,000

Days = 24 days
