a boy reads 1/4 of a book on the first day. ob the second day he reads 1/3 of the remaing portion. what portiin of the book does the boy read in the two days ? if 100page are to be read , find how many pages are there in the book.

Answer»

Part of book read by boy on 1st day =1/4
So REMAINING part of the book = 1 - 1/4 = 3/4
Part of book read by boy on 2ND day = 1/3 × 3/4 = 1/4
Total part of book read by boy in TWO days = 1/4 + 1/4 = 2/4 = 1/2

Left part of the book = 1/2
According to question
100 PAGES are left
So, 1/2 = 100 pages
So, total pages in book= 2 × 100 = 200 pages
