Question:

A camp of 250 soldiers has food for 600 days. After 60 days, 50 soldiers leave the camp. For how many days will the remaining food last from the time that these 50 soldiers left?

Options:

725 days

750 days

675 days

650 days

Correct Answer:

675 days

Explanation:

Formula to be used here,

\( { M}_{1 } \) x \( { D}_{1 } \)  = \( { M}_{2 } \) x \( { D}_{2 } \)

where, M = No. of Soldiers, D = no. of Days,

⇒ Putting values in the formula 

⇒ 250 x 540 = 200 x \( { D}_{2 } \)

\( { D}_{2 } \) = 675 days.
