Mark against the correct answer in the following: A garrison of $500$ men had provisions for $27$ days. After $3$ days, a reinforcement of $300$ men arrived. The remaining food will now last for how many days?
AnswerCorrect option: A. $15$ days
$27$ days $- 3$ days $= 24$ days
Men $= 500 + 300 = 800$
For $500$ men, provision is sufficient $= 24$ days
For $1$ man, provision will be $= 24 \times 500 ($less man, more days$)$
and for $500 + 300 = 800$ men provision
will be sufficient $=\frac{24\times500}{800}=15\text{ days}$
$($more men, less days$)$

Wight of $1m$ rod $=\frac{17.1}{4.5}\text{kg}$
And wight of $12m$ rod
$=\frac{17.1\times12}{4.5}=\frac{171\times12\times100}{100\times45}\text{kg}$
$=\frac{19\times12}{5}=\frac{228}{5}=45.6\text{kg}$
