Question

Smitha read 2/5 th of a book on first day. On second day She read 25% more than what she read on first day. Still 25 pages were left on the third day to read. How many pages of the book she read on second day? 1.100 2.125 3.120 4.250 5.150

Answer 1

LET TOTAL NO. OF PAGES IN THE BOOK=a
READ ON FIRST DAY=(a)(2/5)=2a/5
READ ON SECOND DAY=(2a/5)(125/100)=a/2
READ ON FIRST AND SECOND DAY=2a/5+a/2=9a/10
REMAINING PAGES TO READ=a-9a/10=(10a-9a)/10=a/10
i.e. a/10=25
i.e. a=250
