उत्तर
| Number of people | Food stock for number of days | |
| Initially | 80 | 60 |
| Available food after 10 days | 80 | 60 − 10 = 50 |
| If 20 people joined no. of days remaining food last | 80 + 2 = 100 | x |
As number of people increases food last for less number of days.
80 × 50 = 100 × x
x = `(80 xx 50)/100`
x = 40
Remaining food is to be used for 50 days.
But it only last for 40 days.
No. of days shortage = 50 – 40 = 10 days.
∴ 10 days of food shortage due to the addition of 20 more people.
