Answer» 1500 soldiers………………………………………Breads 48 days. After 13 day …………………………………………..Breads 35 days……………………Total soldiers 1500+x . For 1500 +x…………………………………………….Breads LAST 25 days . if 1 soldier EAT 1 Bread in 1 day 1500 eat 1500 rotis in 1 day and for 48 days 1500 × 48 = 72000 Breads provided till 13 days there are only 1500 soldiers that means 1500 × 13 = 19500. Bread remains after 13 days is 52500 That means the remaining Bread is for (1500 + x) soldiers . According to the problem,52500/1500 + x = 25.52500 = 37500 + 25x.25x = 15000.x = 600600 Soldiers JOINED. |
