Answer: 29 cans.
Step-by-step explanation:
20 can survive 24 days with 15 cans.
If X is the number of days that a man can survive with one can of rations.
so X is in the units can/day
then we have that:
24/15*X = 20
X = 20*15/24 = 12.5
This means that a man can live 12.5 days with a can of food.
then, for 16 men and 36 days we have:
(36/C)*12.5 = 16
C = (36/16)*12.5 = 28.1215
And we can not have a 0.1215 of a can, so we should round it up to 29 cans.
It has not been indicated whether the figure in the questions is a triangle or a quadrilateral. Irrespective of the shape, this can be solved. The two possible shapes and angles have been indicated in the attached image.
Now, from the information given we can infer that there is a line BD that cuts angle ABC in two parts: angle ABD and angle DBC
⇒ Angle ABC = Angle ABD + Angle DBC
Also, we know that angle ABC is 1 degree less than 3 times the angle ABD, and that angle DBC is 47 degree
Let angle ABD be x
⇒ Angle ABC = 3x-1
Also, Angle ABC = Angle ABD + Angle DBC
Substituting the values in the above equations
⇒ 3x-1 = x+47
⇒ 2x = 48
⇒ x = 24
So angle ABD = 24 degree, and angle ABC = 3(24)-1 = 71-1 = 71 degree
