Answer : 3. "528"
Explanation :
Answer: C) 528 Explanation: Assume x soldiers join the fort. 1200 soldiers have provision for 1200 (days for which provisions last them)(rate of consumption of each soldier)= (1200)(30)(3) kg. Also provisions available for (1200 + x) soldiers is (1200 + x)(25)(2.5) k As the same provisions are available=> (1200)(30)(3) = (1200 + x)(25)(2.5) x = ([(1200)(30)(3)] / (25)(2.5)) - 1200 => x = 528.
