300 soldiers left.Initial soldiers =1200 and the number of days they can take food is: 28Let soldiers left after few left = nSo n number of soldiers took food for 32 days.So,1200×28 = 1200×4 + n × 32n = 900Therefore 1200-900 => 300 soldiers left.Food lasted for 32 more days is 32+4 , total 36 days.Food lasted for 32 days is 28 + 4, total 32 days.
