Download Solution PDFGiven:
Provisions for 420 soldiers for 70 days
Additional soldiers after 10 days = 210
Formula used:
Total food = Number of soldiers × Number of days
Remaining food = (Initial food - Food consumed in 10 days)
Remaining food / New total soldiers = Remaining days
Calculations:
Total food = 420 × 70 = 29400
Food consumed in 10 days = 420 × 10 = 4200
Remaining food = 29400 - 4200 = 25200
New total soldiers = 420 + 210 = 630
Remaining days = 25200 / 630
⇒ Remaining days = 40
∴ The correct answer is option (4).
