Correct Answer

✅ Option d — 10

All Options:

  • A5
  • B4
  • C7
  • D10

Detailed Solution & Explanation

Let the ration consumed by 1 student in 1 day be 1 unit.
Total stock of ration initially = $400 ×\displaystyle \times 31 = 12,400×\displaystyle \times …" style="color:#cc0000">\displaystyle units.<br>Ration consumed by 400 students in the first 28 days = &#36;400 ×\displaystyle \times 28 = 11,200
units.
Remaining ration = $12,400 - 11,200 = 1,200\displaystyle units.<br>After 28 days, 280 students vacated the hostel.<br>Remaining students = &#36;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 ×\displaystyle \times D = 1,200
D=1,200120=10 daysD = 1,200120=10\displaystyle \frac{1,200}{120} = 10  days\displaystyle \text{ days}
Thus, the remaining ration will be sufficient for 10 days.
