Question

Y
120 men had food provision for 200 days. After 5 days. 30 died due to
an epidemic. How long will the remaining food last?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

260 days

Step-by-step explanation:

120 men could finish the food in 200 days.

Thus, one man would take ( 120 × 200 ) days.

Now, after 5 days, 120 men can finish the food in 195 days.

Thus, 1 man will take ( 120 × 195 ) days.

Since there are only 90 men left after 5 days, they will take

[ ( 120 × 195 ) / 90 ] days

= 260 days
