An army camp of 250 men has provision for 350 days. After 25 days, 50 men died due to an epidemic. The food will last for ___ additional days.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 406 days.
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 × 325 days
200 men had provisions for (250 × 325)/200 days
= 406.25 days = 406 days
Hence, the remaining food will last for 406 additional days.
