Question

A garrison of 900 men had provisions for 50 days after 8 days a reinforcement of 500 men arrived. for how many days will the food last now?

Answer 1

Can you please make my answer brainliest please,

No. of men=900

If each one have provisions for 50 days,

then, total provisions available=no. of men*provisions each man have

=> total provisions available=900*50=45000units

now,until 8 days,

The total provisions used=no. of men*no. of days

                                         =900*8=7200units

Now,left provisions=total provision - (used provision in 8 days)

                                =45000-7200=37800units

now,after 8 days 500 more men joined,

Now,

Total men=900+500=1400

no. of days after joining they will sustain=left provisions/total no. of men

                                                                  =37800/1400

                                                                  =27days

Total no. of days they will sustain=27+8=35 days (as 8 days already passed away)
