In a fort, there are 1500 soldiers and they have provisions for 90 days.If 600 soldiers leave the fort and the remaining soldiers increase their consumption rate by 50%, for how many days will the provisions last ?A. 80B. 90C. 100D. 120

Answer» Correct Answer - C
Let the consumption of each person per day =K kg.
Let the required time be x.
Quantity of food available in the fort `=(K)(1500)(90)` kg.
`implies (K)(1500)(90)`
`implies(K+(50)/(100)(K))(1500-600)(x)`
`x=((2)(1500)(90))/((3)(900))=100`.
