Question

A garrison of 200men had provision for 45 days after 15 days 40 more men joint the Garrison find the number of days for which the remaining will food last ​

Answer 1

Answer:

25 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Clearly, the remaining food is sufficient for 200 men for (45 − 15), i.e., 30 days.

Total number of men = 200 + 40 = 240

Let the remaining food last for x days.

No. of men 200 240

No. of days 30 x

Clearly, more men will take less number of days to finish the food.

So, it is a case of inverse proportion.

Now, 200×30=240×x⇒x=200×30240⇒x=25

∴ The remaining food will last for 25 days.
