Question



40 people consume 320kg of rice in 50days. In how many days will 30 people consume 80kg of rice?

A.


B.


C.


D.


Correct option is B

Given:
rice consumed by 40 men in 50 days =320 kgs
Formula Used:
Let number of men, total days and total food provision be M,D & F.
Then, M1×D1F1=M2×D2F2\frac{M_{1}\times D_{1}}{F_{1}} = \frac{M_{2}\times D_{2}}{F_{2}}
Solution:
If 40 person consume 320 kgs of rice in 50 days then 30 persons will consume 80 kgs of rice in x days
M1×D1F1=M2×D2F2\frac{M_{1}\times D_{1}}{F_{1}} = \frac{M_{2}\times D_{2}}{F_{2}}
40×50320=30×x80\frac{40\times 50}{320} = \frac{30\times x}{80}
40×50×80320×30=x\frac{40\times 50 \times 80}{320 \times 30 } = x
x= 503\frac{50}{3}​ = 162316\frac{2}{3}
80 kgs of rice will be consumed in 16\frac{2}{3} days by 30 persons
