No. of total parts=5(3+2)
Ratio of literature=3;
No of pages of literature= 3/5*150(ratio of literature/total ratio*given no. of total pages)
=90 pages
No. of pages of grammar=2/5*150(similar as above)

literature and grammar are in the ratio = 3:2
let literature = 3x pages
grammar = 2x pages
total pages = 3x+2x = 5x pages
but it is given that total pages = 150
5x = 150
x = 150/5 = 30
literature part = 3x = 3*6=30 = 90 pages
grammar part = 2x = 2*30 = 60 pages
let literature = 3x pages
grammar = 2x pages
total pages = 3x+2x = 5x pages
but it is given that total pages = 150
5x = 150
x = 150/5 = 30
literature part = 3x = 3*6=30 = 90 pages
grammar part = 2x = 2*30 = 60 pages
