A family of 5 persons can be maintained with Rs.2480 for = 20 days
A family of 5 persons can be maintained with Rs.1 for =`20/2480` days
A family of 5 persons can be maintained with Rs.6944 = `20/2480xx6944=1/124xx6944`
= 56 days
A family of 1 person can be maintained
= 56 × 5 days
A family of 8 persons can be maintained
= `(56xx5)/8` days
= 7 × 5 days
= 35 days
