Let there be x men to start with, so number of man days=7*x
This should be equal or less than the second case = \(x+(x-10)+(x-20)+...+(x-120)=13x-(10+20+...120)=13x-10*(1+2+..12)=13x-10*\frac{12*13}{2}=13x-780\)
So, \(7x\leq13x-780........6x\geq780.......x\geq130\), so x=130
The greater and equal to sign is to cater for decimals. Had answer been 139.3, x would be 140

x— # of people in a group of men.
—> 7*x’ work completed within seven days. ( worker productivity is the same)
—> if 10 men dropped out every day, and it took 13 days to get it done:
—> 1st day: ‘x’ work done
—> 2nd day: ‘x—10’ work done
—> 3rd day: ‘x—20’ work done
....
—> 13th day: ‘x—120’ work done
Sum of the work done within 13 days is equal to 7x
(x+x—120)*13/2=7x (by using arithmetic progression formula)
—> (x—60)*13=7x
13x—13*60=7x
6x=13*60
x= 130
The answer is B
