1000 soldiers in a fort had enough food provision for 20 days. But some soldiers were transferred to another fort and the same food provision lasted for 25 days. How many soldiers were transferred?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
For 20 days fort has food for 1000 soldiers
For 1 days fort has food for 1000×20 soldiers
For 25 days fort has food for 1000×20/25 soldiers = 800 soldiers
1000 − 800=200 soldiers were transferred.
