Question

A boy read 3/8 of the book on one day and 4/5 of the remainder on another day . If there were 30 pages unread how many pages did the book contain

Answer 1

Answer:

let total pages of book be x

3x/8

4/5(x-3x/8)

4/5*5x/8=x/2

Answer 2

Answer:

Let the total pages be 'x' in number.

According to condition 1:

3/8*x read on first day.

So remaining pages will be :

1-3/8*x

=5/8*x

According to condition 2:

Read 4/5 of remaining

So left unread =1/5 of remaining

Therefore remaining at last=1/5 * 5/8*x

=1/8x

Unread=30

Therefore:1/8*x = 30

>> X=240.

Therefore total page is240
