In a fort, there are 1200 soldiers. If each soldier consumes 3 kg per day, the provisions available in the fort will last for 30 days. If some more soldiers join, the provisions available will last fo

Answer»

528



Assume x soldiers join the fort. 1200 soldiers have provision for 1200 (days for which provisions last them)(rate of consumption of each soldier)

= (1200)(30)(3) kg.

Also provisions available for (1200 + x) soldiers is (1200 + x)(25)(2.5) k

As the same provisions are available

=> (1200)(30)(3) = (1200 + x)(25)(2.5)

x = [(1200)(30)(3)] / (25)(2.5) - 1200 => x = 528.
