Correct Answer: 15


Solution : There are 300 men in a group. They have food for 30 days. After 10 days, 100 more men join the group.
Total number of men = (300 + 100) = 400
Remaining number of days = (30 – 10) = 20
So, 300 men had food for 20 days
⇒ 1 man had food for (20 × 300) days
⇒ 400 men have food for ($\frac{20× 300}{400}$) = 15 days
Hence, the correct answer is 15.
