Question

Piyush reads 4/7 of a book. He still finds 60 pages left in the book. How many pages were there in the book? ( A ) 105 ( B ) 100 ( C ) 150 ( D ) 140

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the total no. of page be x

Rest page = 1 - 4/7

= (7 - 4)/7

= 3/7

Now, 3/7 of the total no. of page = 60

=> 3x/7 = 60

=> 3x = 60 × 7

=> x = 420/3

= 140

Hence , there are 140 pages in a book .
