40 cows in 40 days.

30 cows = (40/30)*40 = 160/3 = 53 days.

imagine 'x' unit being taken by 1 cow in 1 day.

30 cows in 40 days qill take their share.

at the end of 40th day

40 (days)*10 (cows) share will be there remaining. (400* x) will be there.

means 1 cows share for 400 days.

30 cows = 400/30 = 13 more days.

so 40+13 = 53 days.

days infinity

because
40 * 40 * amount of grass taken by each cow intial amount of grass + 40* grass grown per day

similarly make eqn for 60days for 30 cows

> each day grass grows at the rate of grass intaken by 20 cow per day

so grass taken 20 cows will be grown on next day

40 cows in 40 days.

30 cows (40/30)*40 160/3 53 days.

imagine 'x' unit being taken by 1 cow in 1 day.

30 cows in 40 days qill take their share.

at the end of 40th day

40 (days)*10 (cows) share will be there remaining. (400* x) will be there.

means 1 cows share for 400 days.

30 cows 400/30 13 more days.

so 40+13 53 days.
