Answer:
24.30 days
Step-by-step explanation:
Let one person consume x kgs in a day
No. of Men = 1500
Total available provision for 48 days = 48 x 1500x
Thus the provision consumed in 13 days = 13 x 1500x
Remaining Provision = Total Provision – consumed provision
= 72000x – 19500x
=52500x
Now 660 men were added , Hence total strength will be 1500+660 = 2160
Provision consumed in one day = 2160x
Provision left = 52500x
Hence number of days for which provision can run
[tex]= \frac{52500x}{2160x}[/tex]
=24.30 days
Hence the provison will end for 24.30 more days
