(a) 1700
(b) 1000
(c) 3000
(d) 2700
Read Solution (Total 3)
-
- Ans a(1700)
sol:(3300*850*25)/(825*17)
=5000
increased=5000-3300
=1700 - 14 years agoHelpfull: Yes(10) No(0)
- Amount of provisions remaining=(32-7)*no.of people*quantity per head
=25*3300*850
after reinforcement provisions remaining=17*x*825(some people are added)
by equating above equations x=(25*3300*850)/(17*825)=5000
so strength of reinforcement=x-3300=5000-3300=1700. - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(0)
