Question

An army camp of 250 men has provision for 350 days. After 25 days, 50 men died due to epidemic. The food will last for

___ days. (Round off the answer to the nearest integer)

Answer 1

Remaining number of men = 250-50 =200 men

Remaining number of days = (350-25) days = 325 days.

250 men had provisions for 325 days

1 man had provisions for $(250\times 325)$ days

200 men had provisions for $\frac{(250\times 325)}{200}$ days

= 406.25days =406 days

hence, the remaining food will last for 406 days.
