b= ln(0.9)/ln2 = -0.152

a = 10 min

n = 50

Avg .time taken to assemble n table fan = a * n^b

So, Avg time taken to assemble 50 table fan = 10 * 50^(-0.152) = 5.518 mins (approx)

Therefore, total time taken to assemble 50 table fan = 50*5.518= 275.9 minutes

Similarly, Avg time taken to assemble 49 table fan = 10 * 49^(-0.152) = 5.535 minutes

Therefore, total time taken to assemble 49 table fan = 49* 5.535 = 271.215 minutes

So the time taken to assemble 50th table fan would be roughly 275.9 - 271.215 =  4.685 minutes
