Question

In a fort, 550 men had provisions for 28 days. How many days will it last for 700 men?

Options

• 22 days

• 35`7/11` days

• 34 days

• none of these

Answer 1

22 days
Number of days for which 550 men had provisions = 28 days

Number of days for which 1 man had provisions = 28 × 550 = 15400 days (more men means less days)

Number of days for which 700 men had provisions = `15400/700=22` days
