Answer 1

Answer:

Ankit reads 1/3 of book on 1st day, therefore remaining book to read= 2/3

and he reads 1/4 of remaining on 2nd day i.e.

2/3×1/4

=1/6

remaining part =2/3-1/6=3/6=1/2

let the total number of pages be x.

therefore 1/2x=200

or,x=200×2

or,x=400pages.

Answer-total no. of pages in book are 400 and he read 1/2 portion of book by 2nd day that is

Answer 2

Given - Total number of pages

Find - Pages left to read

Solution - Number of pages read in the first week = 2/5*500

Number of pages read in first week = 200

Remaining pages = 500 - 200

Remaining pages = 300

Number of pages read in the second week = 1/3*300

Number of pages read in second week = 100

So, number of pages left to read = 300 - 100

Number of pages left to read = 200

So, the number of pages left to read is 200.
