In a college canteen, food items were collected to serve 96 students for 5 days. However, due to new admissions, 64 more students joined. Now, for how many days the food items would last?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 3 days
Let the food items last in D days
Given that,
The food items were collected to serve 96 students for 5 days
Total food items = 96 × 5 = 480
According to the question
480 = (96 + 64) × D
D = 480/160 = 3 days
