The correct option is A 168
After 40 days , the food is sufficient for 600 men for 180−40=140 days
After 40 days , 100 men left the fort.So Number of men in fort 600−100=500 men.
For 600 men , the food will last 140 days
For 1 man , the food will last =140×600 days
For 500 men , the food will last =140×600500=168 days
