Question

There are 800 soldiers in an army camp. There is enough provision for them for 60 days. If 400 more soldiers join the camp how many days will the provision last

Answer 1

If 400 more soldiers join the camp it will take 90 days to last the provision

Answer 2

Answer:

40 days

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 800 soldiers in an army camp. There is enough provision for them for 60 days.

800 soldiers = 60 days

1 soldier = 60 x 800 = 48,000 days

400 more soldiers join the camp

Total number of soldiers = 800 + 400 = 1200

Since 1 soldier = 48,000 days

So, 1200 soldier = 48000 ÷ 1200 = 40 days

Thus the provision last for 40 days.
