Correct answer: C
First, calculate the consumption rate per person per day using the initial data: 810 kg divided by (90 persons × 27 days) equals one-third kg/person/day.
Next, apply this rate to the second scenario where 60 persons consume 300 kg. Dividing 300 by (60 × one-third) yields exactly 15 days.
