Explanation / Answer

50 workers produce 50*10=500 units in a week

so after 2 weeks they will produce 500*2=1000 units

let x workers to be hired

in next 3 weeks they will produce 3*10x units=30x units

previously hired 50 wrorkers in these 3 weeks will produce 3*10*50=1500 units

to meet total demand at the end

1000+30x+1500=7400

so 30x=4900

x=163.33

so 164 to be hired
