Answer 2

Answer:

260 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

A group of 120 men had provisions for 200 days.

120*200 days

After 5 days

provisions after 5 days 120*5

30 men died due to an epidemic.

remaining 120-30=90

Let x days be the provisions supplied for remaining

total=120 men had provision for 5 days+ 90 men have to sustain for x days

120*200=120*5+90*x

24000-600=90x

x=23400/90

x=260 days
