Question : A supply of juice lasts for 35 days. If its use is increased by 40%, the number of days the same amount of juice would last is:
Option 1: 25 days
Option 2: 30 days
Option 3: 24 days
Option 4: 27 days
Correct Answer: 25 days
Solution :
Let the original use of the juice be 100 units.
Now, after the increase of 40%, the use becomes (100 + 100 × $\frac{40}{100}$) = 140 units
So, 140 units of juice will be required for 35 days
⇒ 100 units of juice will last for ($\frac{35×100}{140}$) days = 25 days
Hence, the correct answer is 25 days.
