 A) 29/5 B) 37/4 C) 42 D) 54

Explanation:

After 10 days : 150 men had food for 35 days.

Suppose 125 men had food for x days.

Now, Less men, More days (Indirect Proportion)

${\color{Blue}&space;\therefore&space;}$ 125 : 150 :: 35 : x    ${\color{Blue}&space;\Rightarrow&space;}$    125 x x = 150 x 35

${\color{Blue}&space;\Rightarrow&space;x=\frac{150\times&space;35}{125}}$

${\color{Blue}&space;\Rightarrow&space;}$ x = 42.
