Text Solution

Verified by Experts

After `5` days,
`120` men had provisions for `= 200-5 = 195 `days
After death of `30` men,
Remaining men `= 120-30 = 90` men
Now,
`120` men have provisions for` = 195 `days
`1` man has provisions for `= (195xx120)` days
90 men have provisions for `= (195xx120)/90 = 260` days
Hence, the remaining food will last for` 260` days.
