1)  

 A troop has provisions for 189  soldiers for 10 days. How many soldiers leave the troop so that the provisions may last for 28 days

Answer: 68 soldiers


SOLUTION 1 :

Given:

No of soldiersNo of days
       189  (y)      10 (x)
        (a)     28

As the No of days increases, No of soldiers decreases

It is in inverses variation.

So, xy  =  Constant

       10 x 189 = 28 x a

        (10 x189)/ 28  =  a

        189028               = a

      68   soldiers      =  a



2)  

 A troop has provisions for 122  soldiers for 14 days. How many soldiers leave the troop so that the provisions may last for 25 days

Answer: 68 soldiers

       122  (y)      14 (x)
        (a)     25

As the No of days increases, No of soldiers decreases

It is in inverses variation.

So, xy  =  Constant

       14 x 122 = 25 x a

        (14 x122)/ 25  =  a

        170825               = a

      68   soldiers      =  a

It is in inverses variation.

So, xy  =  Constant

       10 x 173 = 25 x a

        (10 x173)/ 25  =  a

        173025               = a
