workers dropped from second day.
Let total days be 'N'.
Total work done = 150*N (man days)
Work done on first day = 150*1 = 150 (man days)
Work done by using 146 workers on second day = 146 man days
and so on.. for (N+8) days.
So 150*N = 150 + 146 + 142 + .....(N+8) terms........... + (150 - 4(N+8-1)) ..{A . P.}
150*N = 150(N+8) - {0 + 4 + 8 + 12 + ....... + 4(N+7)}
The bold region is in A. P. which has sum = (N+8)(4(N+7))/2
So
150*8 = 2(N+7)*(N+8) => N = 17, -32.
Actual expected days is 17 days but it is done in 25 days at dropping 4 on each
