Correct Answer: ans: 200 days
Explanation:
After 30 days 4000 soldiers have the food of (190 – 30) = 160 days.
After posting of 800 soldiers, there are (4000 – 800) = 3200 soldiers.
4000 soldiers can eat = 160 days
1 soldiers can eat = 4000 x 160 days
3200 soldiers can eat =$\frac{400×160}{3200}$=200 day
