Answer:

No. of pages Uday read = 75

And

No. of pages Sandesh read = 3/5 of book

= 120pages

So Sandesh had read more pages than Uday by 45 pages

Answer 2

Given :

• Uday reads 75 pages
• Sandesh reads 3/5 of the book
• Book has a total of 200 pages

To find : The person who read less.

Solution :

We can simply solve this mathematical problem by using the following mathematical process.

Here, we need to calculate the number of pages that Sandesh had read.

Sandesh had read = (3/5) × 200 = 120 pages

Now, it is obvious that Sandesh had read more pages than Uday. (As, 120 pages > 75 pages)

So, Uday is the person who had read less pages than Sandesh.

Hence, Uday had read less pages.
