Question

an army camp of 250 soldiers had provision for 44 days.a fresh batch of 300 soldiers joined the camp.for how many days will the provisions last

Answer 1

Answer:

soldiers. provision

250. 44 days

300+250. x?

x=250x44/550=20days

provision lasts for 20 days

Answer 2

the provisions will last for 20 days after the new batch of soldiers joins the camp.

We can start by using the concept of "man-days" to solve this problem. A man-day represents the amount of provisions needed for one soldier for one day.

For the initial group of 250 soldiers, the provisions will last for 250 x 44 = 11,000 man-days.

When the new batch of 300 soldiers joins the camp, the total number of soldiers will be 550. Therefore, the provisions will need to last for 550x days.

To find x, we can use the formula:

250 x 44 = 550 x

Simplifying this equation, we get:

x = (250 x 44) / 550

x = 20

Therefore, the provisions will last for 20 days after the new batch of soldiers joins the camp.
