A garrison of 3300 men has provisions for 32 days when supplied at the rate of 850 g per head. At the end of 7 days, a reinforcement arrives, and it is found that the provisions can last for 17 days more when supplied at the rate of 825 g per head. What is the strength of the reinforcement?
(a) 1700 (b) 1000 (c) 3000 (d) 2700

Read Solution (Total 1)

using man*day*rate=constant
after 7 days garrison before reinforcement =3300*32*850-3300*7*850=70125000
let there are x men after reinforcement
then..
x*17*825=70125000
x=5000
then, reinforce number of man =5000-3300=1700 ans(a)
