Answer 1

Answer:

Therefore,

The number of days for which food lasts is inversely proportional to the number of men consuming it.

i.e. If number of men is more, food will last short

and it nymber is small, the food will last long.

38 people can comsume in 18 days

1 person can consume in 18×38 days

(38+10) people can consume in 18×38/48

= 14.25 = 14 days 6 hours
