Answer 1

Answer:

In 5 days the provision consumed by 120 men = 120*5 = 600 man-days. Remaining provisions = 24000 - 600 = 23400 man-days. Men remaining after 5 days = 120 - 30 = 90 men. The remaining provisions will last the 90 another 23400 man-days/ 90 men = 260 days.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Total provision consumed by one man=120x200

=24000 days

Since, after 5 days 30 mwn died

Total provision consumed in 5days =120x5=600

Total provision left = 24000-600=23400 days

Provision left =120-30=90

No. of days it can last for remaining people =23400/9

=260 days
