Given that fort had provision of food for 150 men for 45 days
Hence, after 10 days, the remaining food is sufficient for 150 men for 35 days
Remaining men after 10 days = 150 - 25 = 125
Assume that after 10 days,the remaining food is sufficient for 125 men for x days
More men, Less days (Indirect Proportion)
⇒Men150:125}::x:35
⇒150×35=125x
⇒6×35=5x
⇒x=6×7=42
⇒The remaining food is sufficient for 125 men for 42 days
