A​

Answer 1

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

Then, for 16 men for 45 days. There will be 16×45 = 720 packets.

For 15 days packets consumed is :

16×15 = 240 packets

Packets left is:

720 - 240 = 480 packets

No. of men left after 15 days is 10 men.

So, no. of days = 480 ÷ 10 = 48 days
