A garrison of 750 men has a provision for 20 weeks . if at the end of 4 weeks , they are renforced by 450 , how long will the provision last now
Answers
ANSWER: 10 WEEKS EXPLATION IS BELOW
After 4 weeks, weekmen left =>
750*4=3000
Thus, 15000-3000=12000.
Now Reinforcement increases the Garrison strength to 1200(750+450)
Thus, Weeks to be taken now = 12000Weekmen/1200Men
= 10 Weeks

Let provision for 750 men for 20 weeks = x
Let provision for 750 men for 20 weeks = x Provision for 1 man for 1 week = x/(20*750)
Let provision for 750 men for 20 weeks = x Provision for 1 man for 1 week = x/(20*750) Provision for 750 men for 1 week = x/20
Let provision for 750 men for 20 weeks = x Provision for 1 man for 1 week = x/(20*750) Provision for 750 men for 1 week = x/20 Provision used up in first 4 weeks = 4* x/20 = x/5
Let provision for 750 men for 20 weeks = x Provision for 1 man for 1 week = x/(20*750) Provision for 750 men for 1 week = x/20 Provision used up in first 4 weeks = 4* x/20 = x/5 Provision remaining = x - x/5 = 4x/5
Let provision for 750 men for 20 weeks = x Provision for 1 man for 1 week = x/(20*750) Provision for 750 men for 1 week = x/20 Provision used up in first 4 weeks = 4* x/20 = x/5 Provision remaining = x - x/5 = 4x/5 Men added = 450. So, total men now = 750 + 450 = 1200
Let provision for 750 men for 20 weeks = x Provision for 1 man for 1 week = x/(20*750) Provision for 750 men for 1 week = x/20 Provision used up in first 4 weeks = 4* x/20 = x/5 Provision remaining = x - x/5 = 4x/5 Men added = 450. So, total men now = 750 + 450 = 1200 Provision for 1200 men for 1 week
Let provision for 750 men for 20 weeks = x Provision for 1 man for 1 week = x/(20*750) Provision for 750 men for 1 week = x/20 Provision used up in first 4 weeks = 4* x/20 = x/5 Provision remaining = x - x/5 = 4x/5 Men added = 450. So, total men now = 750 + 450 = 1200 Provision for 1200 men for 1 week = 1200 * x/(20*750) = 2x/25
Let provision for 750 men for 20 weeks = x Provision for 1 man for 1 week = x/(20*750) Provision for 750 men for 1 week = x/20 Provision used up in first 4 weeks = 4* x/20 = x/5 Provision remaining = x - x/5 = 4x/5 Men added = 450. So, total men now = 750 + 450 = 1200 Provision for 1200 men for 1 week = 1200 * x/(20*750) = 2x/25 Therefore no of weeks provision will last
Let provision for 750 men for 20 weeks = x Provision for 1 man for 1 week = x/(20*750) Provision for 750 men for 1 week = x/20 Provision used up in first 4 weeks = 4* x/20 = x/5 Provision remaining = x - x/5 = 4x/5 Men added = 450. So, total men now = 750 + 450 = 1200 Provision for 1200 men for 1 week = 1200 * x/(20*750) = 2x/25 Therefore no of weeks provision will last = (4x/5)/(2x/25)
Let provision for 750 men for 20 weeks = x Provision for 1 man for 1 week = x/(20*750) Provision for 750 men for 1 week = x/20 Provision used up in first 4 weeks = 4* x/20 = x/5 Provision remaining = x - x/5 = 4x/5 Men added = 450. So, total men now = 750 + 450 = 1200 Provision for 1200 men for 1 week = 1200 * x/(20*750) = 2x/25 Therefore no of weeks provision will last = (4x/5)/(2x/25) = 10 weeks
