The amount of project sone by 1 man in 1 day is 1/100 (intuitive).
Now, initially there are 5 men to do 5/100 work the next hour 5+4/100....the 9th hour there are 5+4+4+...(8 times 4)/100 people. The 10th hour the 5 people are relieved and hence the 10th hour work done is 4+4+4+....(9 times 4)/100. After this point, the work done per hour is constant.
*they are relieved at 11th hour my bad. But the logic remains same.
wouldnt it be their 11th hour? and not fixed 11th hour?
You are right, constant hai 11th hour onwards
also, i am getting 900? to cross check i put on an excel sheet lmao
*At the start of 11th hour ig? I forgot how to count for some reason ðŸ˜
Oh no, it would be the start of 10th hour.
my b fixing
not 900 xD
relieve after 10 hours, so 11th hour was fine
fun q
45 ;p;

1 man in 1 day = 0.01 consignment is correct.
Initially there are 20 men, right?

this is the broad idea

so till 10 it is an ap
then constant
Ohh, I messed up values and stuff.
in a nutshell: hour 1 = 0.2 consignment, then ap till hour 10. then hour 11 onwards constant at 0.4

@iTeachChem verify, @BlindSniper (BS)
wow more responses than I expected
so i made a general formula
for such question type
yeah checking one sec
uh
woah
this is epic
thanks
dude how old are you?
this does not look like a 12th grader's work
I'm a little confused about your discussion however
why is the ap constant after the 10th hour?
it says in the question a worker is mandatory to be relieved every 10 hours right
so wouldn't that make it +4 every hour and -1 every 10 hours?
that's kind of the only doubt I had since I tried to search this up but it said constant ap there too so I wasn't sure how to proceed

it isnt
