Question

Vijay reads 1/3rd of a book on the first day.on the second day he read 1/4th of the remaining portion of the book does vijay read in the said two days?if 51 pages are left to be read find out,how many pages in total are there in the book?

Answer 1

Answer:

total = 102 pages

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

let the no. of pages in the book be ' x '

first day Vijay read 1/3rd of book = 1×x/3 = x/3

on second day he read 1/4th of remaining portion

Remaining portion = x-x/3

second day = 1/4 ( x-x/3) = x/6

remaining = 51 pages

Total pages = ?

Now,

total pages = no. of pages read on first day + no.of pages read on second day + remaining pages

x = x/3 + x/6 + 51

x = 2x + x + 306 / 6

6x = 3x + 306

6x - 3x = 306

3x = 306

x = 306/3 = 102

therefore, total 102 pages are there in the book
