Since 20 new employees are hired, we assume that these 20 willtake position of another 20 existing employees.

Since 20 are hired every 2 years, there will cyclical change ofposition every 2 years. The maximum duration an employee can hold aposition is when he will be the last to be replaced i.e. (100/20)*2= 10 years.
