In a garrison, there was food for 1000 soldiers for one month. After 10 days, 1000 more soldiers joined the garrison. How long would the soldiers be able to carry on with the remaining food?
Explanation & Solution
Correct Option: (D) 10 days
Initial food = 1000 × 30 = 30,000 person-days. After 10 days, remaining food = 20,000 person-days. With 2000 soldiers, remaining days = 20,000/2000 = 10 days.
