Question

In a Hostel 150 men have food provisions for 20 days how many men should leave the hostel so that the provisions can run 10 days more ​

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is 50 men.

Step-by-step explanation:

No. of men=150

Lasting of provision for 150 men= 20 days

No. of men required so that the provisions can last for 1 day= 150×20= 3000 men

No. of men required so that the provisions can last for 30 days= 3000/30= 100 men.

So, the provision can last for 30 days only if 100 men are present in the hostel.

So according to the question, the no. of men should leave so that only 100 men will be present in the hostel will be 150-100= 50 men.

So, 50 men should leave the hostel so that the provision can last for 30 days.
