A garrison of 3300 men has provisions for 32 days when supplied at the rate of 850 gram 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 gram per head.What is strength of reinforcement?
(a) 1700
(b) 1000
(c) 3000
(d) 2700

• (3300*32*850)-(3300*7*850)=(3300+x)*17*825
  (Total provision of food for 32 days - provision for 7 days ) = (provision for 17 more days for extra x people )
  x = 1700

• =3300*850*(32-7)=(3300+x)*17*825
  =3300*850*(25)=(3300+x)*17*825
  find x value ? x=1700
