Given
Total soldiers =200
food for them = 31 days
so, quantity of food = 200 *31 =6200 man-days
Till 27 days, quantity consumed = 27 *200=5400 man-days
rest quantity =6200 -5400 = 800 man-days
remaining soldiers = 200 -120 =80
let remaining food will suffient for x days
Now
5400 +80 x= 6200
80 x =800
X =10 days
Total soldiers =200
food for them = 31 days
so, quantity of food = 200 *31 =6200 man-days
Till 27 days, quantity consumed = 27 *200=5400 man-days
rest quantity =6200 -5400 = 800 man-days
remaining soldiers = 200 -120 =80
let remaining food will suffient for x days
Now
5400 +80 x= 6200
80 x =800
X =10 days
