Synergy, however, that doesn't happen in physics the way you described it.
The correct statement would be:
There is a 200 pound object. Person 1 can lift 150 pounds. Person 2 can lift 100 pounds. If they combine forces, they produce 250 pounds, which is more than enough to lift the object.
In other cases, yes, synergy will produce a value higher than the expected by adding the two individual values, but the additional value doesn't come out of nowhere. Read the following article, and scroll down to "human synergy" to see two examples:

Notice that in the politician example, the 500,000 aditional people didn't come out of nowhere. They were already in the population, however they were going to vote only if the two politicians formed an alliance.
