For the two armies X and Y, the X army is about to attack Y army which has only 7725 troops while the X army has 12440 troops. The Y army however superior military equipment’s which make each Y soldier 1.5 times as effective as X soldier. Develop a mathematical model using differential equations and explain for i) which army will win ii) Estimate how many troops of the winning army will be left at the end. iii) How long the battle will end. The kill rates of X and Y are 0.5 and 0.75 respectively.
