In a garrison, there was food from 500 soldiers for forty days.After 15 days, 200 soldiers left the garrison. After 15 more days, 200 soldiers left the garrison. How long did the soldiers were able to live with the food supplies?
1). 30
2). 70
3). 80
4). 110
500 soldiers can last for 40 days
1 soldier can last for = 500 × 40 days
After 15 days; food left = 20000 - 15 × 500 = 12500 units
Total number of men = 500 - 200 = 300
After 15 more days; food left = 12500 - 15 × 300 = 8000 units
Total number of men = 300 - 200 = 100
Total number of days for which the total supplies will last = (8000/100) = 80
Number of days food lasted = 15 + 15 + 80 = 110
