a garrison of 3300 men has provisons for 32 days.when given at the rate 850 grams per head.

• and the full ques is 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??
  Total provisions at start
  = 3300 * 32*850 g
  Amount used in 7 days = 3300*7*850 g
  Amount left = 3300*25*850 g
  This will sustain 3300*25*850 / 17*825 people = 5000 people
  What is the strength of the reinforcement?
  = 5000 -3300
  = 1700

  This question can be solved by Chain rule. Refer RS agarwal
  
  3300*850*25=(3000+x)*825*17
  
  here x is the strength of recruitment.
  
  solving it ,, x=1700 . 1700 is 100% correct
