Step-by-step explanation:

Given : In a palace, supplies are available for 35 days for only 75 people. 15 guests arrive in the palace for vacation on day 1 itself.

To find : How many days will these supplies be sufficient for all these people?

Solution :

There are 75 people and 15 guest.

Total people = 75+15=90

For 75 people supplies available are 35 days.

So, 75:35

For 95 people supplies available for x days.

So, 90:x

According to question,

$75x=35\times 90$

$x=\frac{35\times 90}{75}$

$x=42$

Therefore, 42 days will these supplies be sufficient for all these people.
