There are 300 men in a group. They have food for 30 days. After 10 days, 100 more men join the group. The remaining food will last how many days?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 15 days.

There are 300 men in a group and They have food for 30 days.

So, the total food = 300 × 30 = 9000

Their 10 days food = 300 × 10 = 3000

Remaining food = 9000 - 3000 = 6000

After 10 days, 100 more men join the group

So, The remaining food will last how many days = 6000/(300 + 100) = 15 days
