QUESTION ---- An army base has sufficient ratio for 5 day and 60 soldiers are stationed in it. Then, 40 more soldiers arrive at the army base. How many days would be spent with this ration

ANSWER
___________________________

Ration for 5 days for 60 soldiers
Ration for x days for (60+40) soldiers

Days -----> Soldiers
5 --------> 60
x -------> 100

They are in indirect proportion i.e. If soldiers increase days will reduce and vice versa.

Hence,

5 ÷ x = 100 ÷ 60

=> 5/x = 100/60

=> 5 / x = 5/3

=> 5x = 15

=> x = 3 days

___________________________

NOW RATION WILL LAST ONLY FOR 3 DAYS.
