Detailed Solution

Given, in an army camp, there were provisions for 550 men for 28 days. But, 700 men attended the camp.
Number of days that provisions for 1 man is,
Total men

\times

Total days
= 550

\times

28=15400

The number of days will the provisions come for 700 men = \frac{Days that provisions last for 1 man}{700}

\frac{15400}{700}

= 22 days
So provision will be there for 22 days only.
Hence, option 1 is correct.
