Answers
Answer:
Ans 1= 120 Men - 195 days (provision left after 5 days)
30 men killed
Men left - 90 Days - D
so 120 x 195 = 90 x D
D= 260 days
Ans 2= 1200 soldiers - 24 days (after 4 days)
soldiers leaving= S days= 32
so (1200-S) x 32 = 1200 x 24
S =300 soldiers

consider 1 person consumes "X" food per day
=> 120persons = 120X
total available food= 200*120*X = 24000X
=> food consumed in 5days = 5*120*X = 600X
=> food available= total food- food consumed in 5days
= 24000X-600X = 23400X
=>5days later 30 died, so 90 left
food consumed by 90people for 1 day= 90X
=> no of days food will last = food available/ food consumed per 1day
= 23400X /90X
=260days
