work part A=25% and work part B= 75%
25% work done by 200 people in 50 days
if only one employee works then he takes 200*50=10000 days
and if work(B) is triple more ten he will take =10000*3 =30000 days
if employees are 250 then days = 30000/250=120days
then total days = 50+120 = 170 days
how many extra days taken = 170-150 = 20 days answer
