Question
In a fort, 550 men had provisions for 28 days. How many days will it last for 700 men?
Options
22 days
35`7/11` days
34 days
none of these
Solution
22 days
Number of days for which 550 men had provisions = 28 days
Number of days for which 1 man had provisions = 28 × 550 = 15400 days (more men means less days)
Number of days for which 700 men had provisions = `15400/700=22` days
