Question

Rahul read 60 pages of a book containing 96 pages. Sanjay read 3/4 of the same book. Who read less?

Answer 1

Given:

Number of pages read by Rahul=60 pages

Number of pages read by Sanjay=3/4

=3/4×96

=3×24

=72

Sanjay read 72 pages

Hence Rahul read less pages of book.

Answer 2

Rahul only read 12 pages fewer than Sanjay.

Step-by-step explanation:

• The book contains 96 pages in total. From which, Rahul read 60 pages.

• It has been given that Sanjay read $3/4$ part out of 96 pages.

The calculation for Sanjay's reading part:  

$96\cdot3/4 = 72$

∴ $72 - 60 = 12$

Hence, Rahul read 12 pages less than Sanjay.
