Case 1:
Total worker : 75.
Total days : 20.
Total work : 75*20 = 1500.
Case 2:
Total worker : 50.
Total days : ?
Total work : 1500.

So, total days = Total Work/Total worker
= 1500/50
= 30. Source: CoolInterview.com

new area= 4*(((3^(1/2))/4)*a^2)
calculate the difference..n then find out the percentage
that will be= difference/area*100=300% Source: CoolInterview.com
