x ---- R kgs

(x + 25x/100) ---- (R - 5) kgs

=> Rx = (R - 5)(x + 25x/100)

=> Rx = (R - 5)(125x/100)

=> 100Rx = 125Rx - 625x

Q:

A garrison of 2000 men has provisions for 54 days. At the end of 15 days, a reinforcement arrives, and it is now found that the provisions will last only for 20 days more. What is the reinforcement ?

A) 1900 B) 2100
C) 1700 D) 2000
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 1900

Explanation:

Given 2000 ---- 54 days

The provisions for 2000 men for 39 days can be completed by 'm' men for only 20 days.

i.e, 2000 ----- 39 days == m ---- 20 days

=> m x 20 = 2000 x 39

m = 3900

So total men for 20 days is 3900

=> 2000 old and 1900 new reinforcement.

Hence, reinforcement = 1900.
