Dear student,
Given that garisson had provision for 500 persons for 27 days
Hence, after 3 days, the remaining provision is sufficient for 500 persons for 24 days
Remaining persons after 3 days = 500 + 300 = 800
Assume that after 10 days,the remaining provision is sufficient for 800 persons for x days
More men, Less days (Indirect Proportion)
⇒Men 500:800 :: x:24
⇒500×24=800x
⇒5×24=8x
⇒x=5×3=15
x= 15
Regards,
