Hi Abi,
Good question.
in both cases the amount of goods consumed remain same, so we can equate it as follows
Let x be the number of days goods last after 25 men leave having worked for 10 days
150 * 45 = 150*10 + 125*x
125x = 150 (45 - 10)
125x = 150 * 35
x = 42
The good will last for 42 more days
Total days = 10 + 42 = 52 days
Hope it helped.
Let me know if any doubt.
Cheers !!!
