Given, in an army camp, there were provisions for 550 men for 28 days, but, 700 men attended the camp.

Now, by using a unitary method:

Number of days that provisions will be for 550 men = 28 days

→ Number of days that provisions will be for 1 man28 × 550 

= 15400 days(fewer men mean more days for provision)

→ Number of days that provisions will be for 700 men15400700

= 22 days 

 

Hence, the provision will last for 22 days only if 700 men attend the camp.
