Answer : 1. "1900"
Explanation :

Answer: A) 1900 Explanation: Given 2000 ---- 54 days The provisions for 2000 men for 39 days can be completed by 'm' men for only 20 days. i.e, 2000 ----- 39 days == m ---- 20 days => m x 20 = 2000 x 39 m = 3900 So total men for 20 days is 3900 => 2000 old and 1900 new reinforcement. Hence, reinforcement = 1900.
