Question

A ship takes 25 days to travel from Kolkata to Cochin. The ship started with 36 sailors and 850 gm food per day for each sailor. But after 13 days that ship rescued 15 sailors from an immersing ship and increased its speed to reach Cochin in 10 days. Now what amount of food should each sailor take per day to reach safely in Cochin and by that the food will be finished​

Answer 1

720g

Step-by-step explanation:

1 sailor required 850grams food per day.

For required to 36 sailor per day= 850 × 36 = 30600

Food intake for 25 days = 25 × 30600 = 765,000 g

Food required for 36 sailor in 13 days =13 × 30600 = 397800g

Remaining Food after 13 days =765,000 – 397800  = 367200g

From 14 days total sailor = 36 + 15 = 51

Amount of food should each sailor take per day to reach safely in Cochin = 367200 ÷ 51 ÷10 =7200 ÷ 10= 720 g
