Answer 1

Answer:

$\large{\boxed{\green{\mathcal{Answer-}}}}$

LET THE TOTAL NUMBER OF PAGES BE X .

THEREFORE ;

ACCORDING TO THE CONDITIONS ,

FIRST DAY ,

PAGES READ = X/2

SECOND DAY ,

PAGES READ = X/2 + 38

ACCORDING TO THE CONDITIONS ;

X - X/2 - 38 = 40

X - X/2 = 78

(2X - X) / 2 = 78

X / 2 = 78

X = 78 × 2

X = 156

THE TOTAL PAGES IN THE BOOK WERE 156 .
