Question

If 26 horses or 20 bullocks eat up the fodder in store in 170 days, in what time will 10 horses and 8 bullocks finish the same quantity of fodder?

Accepted Answer

D. 26 Horses = 20 Bullocks $\implies 1 	ext{ Bullock} = 1.3 	ext{ Horses}$. Total fodder = $26 	imes 170$ horse-days = 4420 horse-days. Combined daily consumption of 10 horses and 8 bullocks: $$10 + 8(1.3) = 10 + 10.4 = 20.4 	ext{ horses.}$$
