We can use the following formula to solve this problem:

men × hours × length of wall = constant

We know that six men can build a 150 m wall in ten hours. Therefore, we can write:

6 × 10 × 150 = constant

Simplifying this equation, we get:

constant = 9000

Now, we can use this constant to find the number of men needed to build a 200 m wall in four hours. We can write:

men × 4 × 200 = 9000

Simplifying this equation, we get:

men = 9000 / (4 × 200) = 11.25

Since we can't have a fraction of a person, we need to round up to the nearest whole number. Therefore, we need 12 men to build a 200 m wall in four hours.
