Correct Answer: 100
Solution : Given, Time taken by a certain number of persons = 90 days The difference in days if 10 persons less = 10 days Let the number of persons present initially be $x$. Now, the Work done is the same ⇒ $x\times90 = (x-10)\times100$ ⇒ $90x = 100x - 1000$ ⇒ $100x-90x = 1000$ ⇒ $x = 100$ Hence, the correct answer is 100.
