In a fort there was a food provision for 120 men for 200 days. After 5 days, 30 men moved to another place. How long will the remaining food last? |
140 days 260 days 300 days 290 days |
260 days |
According to the question, Total food provision for one day =120×200 = 24000 After 5 days, food provision is reduced by =120×5=600 So, left food provision = 24000−600 = 23400 After 5 days, men left =120−30=90 So the food provision will last for = \(\frac{23400}{90}\) = 260 days more |
