A garrison of 1000 men had provisions for 48 days. However, a reinforcement of 600 men arrived. How long will now food last for?
A) 35 days
B) 30 days
C) 25 days
D) 45 days
Correct answer:
B) 30 days
Description for Correct answer:
Because, For 1000 men, provision lasts for 48 days.
Therefore, For 1 man, provision lasts for \( \Large \left(48 \times 1000\right) \) days.
For \( \Large \left(1000 + 600\right) \) men,
provision will last for \( \Large \frac{48 \times 1000}{1600} \) days
Therefore, Required number of days
= \( \Large \frac{48 \times 1000}{1600} = 3 \times 10 \) = 30 days
