Answer:

No. of Men * No. of days = Work Done

or,

N1*D1 = N2*D2

Lets assume there were x people in the beginning

For LHS

Total work = 8x

For RHS,

Work done on day 1 = x * 1 (where 1 is 1 day)

Work done on day 2 = (x-10) * 1

Work done on day 3 = (x-20) * 1

....

and so on

Work done on day 12 = (x-110) * 1

Summation gives us net work = 12x - 660.

8x = 12x - 660

This gives x = 165
