10 men have ration for 21 days in the camp. If 3 men leave the camp, for how many days will the ration be sufficient for the remaining men?
Explanation
10 men have ration for 21 days, which means the total ration is sufficient for 10 x 21 = 210 man-days.
If 3 men leave the camp, the remaining number of men is 10 - 3 = 7 men.
The total ration remains the same, but now it needs to be distributed among 7 men instead of 10.
To find the number of days the ration will last for the remaining men, divide the total ration (210 man-days) by the number of remaining men (7): 210 ÷ 7 = 30 days.
Therefore, the correct answer is: 30 days
