Question

In a camp there is enough provision for 600 students for 30 days. if 300 more students join the camp for how many days will the provision last now ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Initially there were 300 persons in the camp who had food for 42 days. Now, with more 50 coming in, there are a total of 350 persons and say the food will now last for x day, then

300×42=350×x

⇒

350

300×42

=x

⇒x=36days

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, the days will the provision last day be x.

† It is an inverse variation as the people increase and the provision decrease †

→ 500 × 30 = 600x

→ x = \sf \dfrac{500 \times 30}{600}

600

500×30

→ \boxed {\sf \blue{x = 25}}

x=25

Hence,

In 25 days will the provision last.
