Question

an army camp 200 men has enough food for 60 days. How long will the food last if the number of men in the camp increased to 240?

Answer 1

For 200 men the food is enough for 60 days For 1 men the food is enough for 60/200 days Therefore,for 240 men the food will last up to 60×200/240 i.e.50 days

Answer 2

Total period = 60 days

Number of men in the beginning =200

number of men in the camp increased to 240

for 200men food last = 60 days

for 1 man food last = 60 ×200 days

for 240men food last = 60×200÷240 days

for 240men food will last for 5  days  ans
