    A)  280 days        

    B)  260 days

    C)  290 days

    D)  252 days

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     \[{{M}_{1}}=120,\] \[{{D}_{1}}=200-5=195\]         \[{{M}_{2}}=120-30=90,\,\,{{D}_{2}}=?\] Using \[{{M}_{1}}{{D}_{1}}={{M}_{2}}{{D}_{2}}\] \[120\times 195=90\times {{D}_{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\frac{120\times 195}{90}={{D}_{2}}\] \[\therefore \] \[{{D}_{2}}=260\] Thus, the food will last for 260 days.
