Question

A Garrison of 200 men had provision of food for 45 days. A reinforcement of 50 man arrived,find the number of days the food will last.

Answer 1

hey!!

here is your answer >>>

Let's take the basic idea,

If the number of people increase, then , the number of days would decrease!.

So, it is an inverse proportion.

X , take it as the number of people
Y , take it as the number of days!.

X1 = 200 X2 = 250
Y1 = 45. Y2 = z

XY = constant!.

(200)(45) = (250)(z)

z = (200)(45)/250

z = 36!.

It will last for 36 days!.

Hope my answer helps!
