. Two pipes A and B can fill up a half full tank in 1.2 hours. The tank was initially empty. Pipe B was kept open for half the time required by pipe A to fill the tank by itself. Then, pipe A was kept open for as much time as was required by pipe B to fill up 1/3 of the tank by itself. It was then found that the tank was 5/6 full.

A fort contains a granary, that has 1000 tons of grains. The fort is under the siege from an enemy army that has blocked off all the supply routes.

The army in the fort has three kinds of soldiers:

Sepoys2,00,000

Mantris1,00,000

Footies1,00,000

100 sepoys can hold 5% of the enemies for one month.

100 mantris can hold 10% of the enemy for 15 days.

50 footies can hold 5% of the enemy for one month

A sepoy eats 1 kg of food per month, a mantri eats 0.5 kg of food per month and a footie eats 3 kg of food. (Assume 1 ton=1000 kg)

The king has to make some decisions based on the longest possible resistance that can be offered to the enemy.

If a king select a soldier, he will have to feed him for the entire period of the resistance. The king is not obliged to feed a soldier not selected for the resistance.

(Assume that the entire food allocated to a particular soldier for the estimated length of resistance is redistributed into the king's palace in case a soldier dies and available for other soldiers.)

If the king makes a decision error, the maximum reduction in the time of resistance could be
