Question

A garrison of $300$ men had food for $20$ days. However $50$ men leave. Now for how many days will the food last?

• A. $26$ days
• B. $24$ days
• C. $120$ days
• D. $18$ days

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

$24$ days

Let us assume that each man Eats $1kg$ of food per day

$Food=300\times 20\times 1kg=6000kg$

Now, $50$ men left

so, $300-50=250$ $men$ remains

Since, amount of food is same

$6000=250\times days\times 1kg$

$days=24$

Therfore Answer is $\left(B\right)$
