Answer:
41
Step-by-step explanation:
Case 1: For 52 patients, estimated provision of food = 39 days
Case 2: After 25 Days, Total patients = 52 + 12 = 64, and estimated provision of food is one day less i.e. 39 - 1 = 38
Food eaten by 64 patients in (38 - 25 = 13 days) = Food eaten by 52 patients in x days.
64 * 13 = 52 * x
x = 16 (days)
Therefore, if 12 patients hadn't arrived then food will last for 25 + 16 = 41 days
