    A)  250 days                     

    B)  300 days        

    C)  200 day           

    D)  260 days

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    (d): food available for \[120\times 200\] man days In 5 days, food exhausted =\[120\times 5\] man days \[\Rightarrow \]food left = \[120\times 195\] man days But men left = 90 \[\Rightarrow \] days food can last \[=\frac{120\times 195}{90}\text{ =}\,4\times 65\] \[\Rightarrow \] 260 days.
