A garrison of 3300 men has provisions for 32 days,
when given at a
rate of 850 grams per head. At the end of 7 days a
reinforcement
arrives and it was found that now the provisions will
last 8 days
less, when given at the rate of 825 grams per head.
How, many more men
can it feed?

• Initial stock = 3300*32*850
  stock consumed in 7 days = 3300*7*850
  stock remains = 3300*25*850
  a/q
  3300*25*850 = (3300+reinforcement) *825*(32-7-8)
  gives reinforcement = 1700

• total stock=3300*32*850
  stock consumed=3300*7*850
  remaining stock=(total stock)-(stock consumed)
  x=no of reinforcement
  stock does not available for last 8 days, 825g per head
  ie.., remaining stock=(3300+x)*825*25 25 means(32days-7days-8days).
  X=1700
• 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(5) No(0)
• 3300*25*850=(3300+X)*8*825
  ans x(reinforcement)=5200
