1)  

 A troop has provisions for 169  soldiers for 14 days. How many soldiers leave the troop so that the provisions may last for 27 days

Answer: 88 soldiers


SOLUTION 1 :

Given:

No of soldiersNo of days
       169  (y)      14 (x)
        (a)     27

As the No of days increases, No of soldiers decreases

It is in inverses variation.

So, xy  =  Constant

       14 x 169 = 27 x a

        (14 x169)/ 27  =  a

        236627               = a

      88   soldiers      =  a



2)  

 A troop has provisions for 165  soldiers for 14 days. How many soldiers leave the troop so that the provisions may last for 20 days

Given:

No of soldiersNo of days
       165  (y)      14 (x)
        (a)     20

As the No of days increases, No of soldiers decreases

It is in inverses variation.

So, xy  =  Constant

       14 x 165 = 20 x a

        (14 x165)/ 20  =  a

        231020               = a

It is in inverses variation.

So, xy  =  Constant

       11 x 142 = 29 x a

        (11 x142)/ 29  =  a

        156229               = a
