480 men should join the existing 1200 men to finish the stock in 25 days .
Let the number of men joined be ‘x’ men Total men = 1200
Men :1200 x
Time(day's) :35 25
We know k = xy
1200 × 35 = x × 25 x
= (1200×35)/25
= 1680 So, 1680 – 1200
= 480 Men
∴ 480 men should join for the same stock to last for 25 days.
