150 men consume 1050 kg of rice in 30 days. In how many days will 70 men consume 980 kg of rice?
Select:
A) 62 B) 60 C) 65 D) 73 E) 64
Explanation:   Rate of consumption of each man = 1050/(150 * 30) = 7/30 kg/day   Let us say 70 men take x days to consume 150 kg.   Quantity consumed by each item in x days = 7x/30 kg.   Quantity consumed by 70 men in x days = (7x/30)(70)kg   (7x/30)(70) = 980   x = (980 * 30)/490 =&gt; x = 60 days'   Answer: Option 60
<result>B</result>
150 men consume 1050 kg of rice in 30 days. In how many days will 70 men consume 980 kg of rice?
