Question

Answer 1

Answer:

42 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that each men consume one packet of food in a day.

Then, for 150 men for 45 days. There will be 150×45 = 6750 packets.

For 10 days packets consumed is :

150×10 = 1500 packets

Packets left is:

6750 - 1500= 5250 packets

No. of men left after 10 days is 125 men.

So, no. of days = 5250 ÷ 125= 42 days
