Method 1:

10 Bears eat 560 fish in 7 days

10 Bears eat 80 Fish / day

Therefore 1 Bear eats 8 fish /Day


Now we have 8 bears, who will eat 64 fish/day

Therefore in 14 days, the fish required = 14 * 64 = 896 fish


Method 2: We can also use the concept of Man Days here, which is \(\frac{M_1* T_1}{W_1}= \frac{M_1 * T_1}{W_1}\)

Let the Total Fish required = x

Therefore \(\frac{10 * 7}{560}= \frac{8 * 14}{x}\)

x = 896



Option C

The given rate is 560 fish per week for 10 bears. Thus if we account for each bear, the rate is 56 fish per week per bear.

The question now asks for how many fish under 8 bears and 2 weeks, which is 56 * 8 * 2 = 112*8 = 800 + 96 = 896.

Ans: C

10bears*7days ----------> 560 fish
So, 1 bearsdays ----------> 8 fish

Hence, 8 bears * 14 days --------------->8*8*14 = 896, Answer is (C)

10 bear -- 1 week -- 560 fishes
1 bear -- 1 week -- 56 fishes
8 bear -- 1 week -- 56*8 fishes

8 bears -- 2 weeks -- 56*8*2 = 896 fishes.

Let me know if you have further questions.

Solution:

The number of fish required to feed one bear for one week is 560/10 = 56. Thus, the number of fish required to feed one bear for two weeks is 56 x 2 = 112, and so to feed 10 - 2 = 8 bears for two weeks is 112 x 8 = 896.
