Total ounces of provisions available \(= 3300*850*32\)
Remaining provisions available at the end of 7 days \(=3300*850*25\)
Provisions available for garrison including reinforcements \(=(3300+R)*825*17\)
Remaining provisions available at the end of 7 days = Provisions available for garrison including reinforcements
\(3300*850*25=(3300+R)*825*17\)
\(3300+R=\frac{3300*850*25}{825*17}\)
\(R=5000-3300\)
\(R=1700\)
Answer is A
Remaining provisions available at the end of 7 days \(=3300*850*25\)
Provisions available for garrison including reinforcements \(=(3300+R)*825*17\)
Remaining provisions available at the end of 7 days = Provisions available for garrison including reinforcements
\(3300*850*25=(3300+R)*825*17\)
\(3300+R=\frac{3300*850*25}{825*17}\)
\(R=5000-3300\)
\(R=1700\)
Answer is A
