„A garrison of 120 men has provision for 30 days. At the end of five days, five more
men joined them. How many days can they sustain on the remaining provision?
AINDITA​

Answer 1

Let after the joining of 5 men (after 5 days), It took x days to sustain on the remaining provision then,

According to the question-

120×30=120×5+125×x

(120×30)−(120×5)=125x

120(30−5)=125x

120×25=125x

120=5x

x=24 days

Hence, this is the required answer
