- The original supplies were meant for 300 people for 14 days.

- Total "person-days" the supplies can cover = 300 people * 14 days = 4200 person-days.

- On day 1, 500 more people join, making it 800 people in total.

- Now, we calculate how many days 800 people can last with 4200 person-days:

- 4200 person-days ÷ 800 people = 5.25 days.

- Since 5.25 represents a fraction, they can complete 5 full days only with all the people, not 12 days.

? Option:3 - 10 is correct as the answer.
