Detailed Solution & Explanation

Let the ration consumed by 1 student in 1 day be 1 unit.
Total stock of ration initially = 400×31=12,400\displaystyle 400 \times 31 = 12,400 units.
Ration consumed by 400 students in the first 28 days = 400×28=11,200\displaystyle 400 \times 28 = 11,200 units.
Remaining ration = 12,40011,200=1,200\displaystyle 12,400 - 11,200 = 1,200 units.
After 28 days, 280 students vacated the hostel.
Remaining students = 400280=120\displaystyle 400 - 280 = 120.
Let D\displaystyle D be the number of days the remaining ration will suffice for the remaining students:
120×D=1,200120 \times D = 1,200
D=1,200120=10 daysD = \frac{1,200}{120} = 10 \text{ days}
Thus, the remaining ration will be sufficient for 10 days.
