In a hostel of 100 students,provision was sufficient for 30 days. After one week some more students were admitted ,and the provision was consumed 3 days earlier. Find the number of students newly admitted.
Number of days for which the provisions would last initially = 30 The number of days for which the provisions would last after new students joined = (30 - 3) days = 27 days So the number of students for which the provisions would last for 30 days = 100 Then The number of students for which the provision would last for 1 day = (100/30) = 10/3 So The number of students for which the provision would last for 27 days = (10/3) * 27 = 90 So The number of students that were admitted later = 100 -90 = 10 So 10 students were admitted after one week.
