Answer:

Let the  number of soldiers left = x

After 4 days, for 1200 soldiers the food would last for = 28-4=24 days

now we have the food that would last for 1200 soldiers= 24 days

                                                         and for 1200-x soldiers = 32 days

when the number of soldiers decrease, the food would last for more days. thus there is inverse variation between soldeirs and number of days.

therefore we get,  

               ⇒1200×24=(1200−x)×32

⇒x=300

Thus the number of soldiers left the fort is 300.
