Answer:

24 days

Explanation:

For 120 men there is provision for 30 days

Total provision = 120x30 = 3600 units

120 men in 5 days will take = 120x5 = 600 units of provision

Remaining provision = 3600–600 = 3000 units

5 more men joined and now there are total 125 men

1 day provision requirement for 125 men = 125 units

Days for which they can sustain on remaining provision = 3000/125 = 24 days

Hope this helps

Good Luck
