consider the left no. of pages as x and read no. of pages as 4x

4x+x=no. of pages
4×60 +60=no. of pages
240+60=300
the total no. of pages is 300

Answer 2

HEYA MATE, HERE IS UR ANSWER ________________

Let total pages be x.

Pages read=4/5of x

= 4x/5

Pages left to read=x-4x/5

= 5x-4x/5

= x/5

According to the question

x/5=60

x=60×5

x=300.

So the book contains 300 pages.
