A fort has enough food for 45 days for 175 soldiers. If after 15 days 100 soldiers leave the fort, for how many more days the food will last?

• total food is enough to serve for 45*175=7875 soldiers
  food consumed by d end of 15 days=15*175=2625
  no of soldiers dat can be feeded with remaining=7875-2625=5250
  as der r 75 soldiers currently
  d fud last for 5250/75=70days

• A fort has enough food for 45 days for 175 soldiers. If after 15 days 100 soldiers leave the fort, then it has 30 more days food for 175 soldiers.
  and 30*175/75 = 70 more days food for 75 soldiers.

• total food available in fort= 45x175=7875
  food consumed in 15 days= 15x175=2625
  rest food= 7875-2625=5250
  rest food will be consumed by rest (75) solders so no of days= 5250/75=70days ans.

• ANS= 70 DAYS
  total food(T)=45*175
  after 15 days, total consumption=T/3
  Remaining= 2T/3
  Now no. of days food will be consumed by 175-100=75 soldiers is
  (2T/3)*(1/75)=70 DAYS

• after 15 days,
  30--->175
  x----->75
  30*175/75=42
  therefore 30-42=12 days of food wasted
