1.	Transferred to another fort and thus the food lasted for an extra 32 days. How many soldiersfood for 28 days. After 4 days, some soldiers wereleft the fort
Answer» Answer: Let the number of soldiers left = x After 4 DAYS, for 1200 soldiers the food would last for = 28-4=24 days now we have the food that would last for 1200 soldiers= 24 days and for 1200-x soldiers = 32 days when the number of soldiers decrease, the food would last for more days. THUS there is inverse variation between soldeirs and number of days. therefore we get, ⇒1200×24=(1200−x)×32 ⇒x=300 Thus the number of soldiers left the fort is 300.

Answer»

Let the number of soldiers left = x

After 4 DAYS, for 1200 soldiers the food would last for = 28-4=24 days

now we have the food that would last for 1200 soldiers= 24 days

and for 1200-x soldiers = 32 days

when the number of soldiers decrease, the food would last for more days. THUS there is inverse variation between soldeirs and number of days.

therefore we get,

⇒1200×24=(1200−x)×32

⇒x=300

Thus the number of soldiers left the fort is 300.
