Answer 1

Answer:

25 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

A garrison of 200 men had provision for 45 days

total=200 men* 45 days

After 15 days means 200 men had provisions for 15 days

200*15

40 men joined  the garrison

Total men=200+40

                =240 men

Find the number of days for which the remaining food will last

Let x be days

total= 200 men had provisions for 15 days+240 men has to sustain in x days

200*45=200*15+240x

6000=240x

x=25 days
