Concept:We are given that in 200 days, 200 soldiers will consume 10 tonnes of food.
We are aware that one tonne equals one thousand kg.
Thus, in

200 days, 200

soldiers consume

10, 000 kg .

By dividing the total food by

200,

We can determine how much the soldier ate over the course of 200 days.

\frac{10000}{200}

= 50kg
In a similar vein, we will divide it by

200

to determine how much food one soldier consumes each day.

\frac{50}{200}

\frac{1}{4}

kg
Let's multiply the amount of food consumed by one soldier in a day by

20

to find the amount consumed by

20

soldiers:

\frac{1}{4} (20) = 5 kg

In order to calculate how much food 20 troops consumed in 20 days, multiply the preceding quantity by 20.

5 (20) = 100 kg

Thus,

In 20 days, 20 troops will consume 100 kg of food .

Hence, the correct option is

3
