Question

A hostel has food provisioned for 30 days to serve 80

people. If 40 more men join the hostel, the same provision
would have last for how many days?

Answer 1

Answer: 20 days

Explanation:

First, we find the food provisioned for 1 man will last for how many days

Take 80 times 30 = 2400 days

Now we know that 40 more joined

80 + 40 = 120 serve

So, we take 2400 divided by 120 = 20 days
