Question

In the military camp, 50 soldiers consume 300 kg of rice in 60 days. If 10 soldiers take leave then in how many days remaining soldiers will consume 200 kg of rice?
1. 50 days
2. 120 days
3. 90 days
4. 105 days

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 1 : 50 days

Concept used:

(M₁ × D₁ × H₁)/W₁ = (M₂ × D₂ × H₂)/W₂

M → Number of men, D → Day and H → Hour, W → Wage

Calculation:

(50 × 60)/300 = ((50 - 10) × D)/200

⇒ D = (50 × 60 × 2)/(3 × 40) = 50 

∴ The required number of days is 50
