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 😭 Oh no, it would be the start of 10th hour.

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

in a nutshell: hour 1 = 0.2 consignment, then ap till hour 10. then hour 11 onwards constant at 0.4

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
