Question

Gopal read $\frac{3}{4}$th pages of a book. He found that there are still $60$ pages left to read. The total number of pages in the book are

• A. $180$
• B. $100$
• C. $240$
• D. $250$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $240$

Let the total number of pages in the book be $x$.

Gopal has read $\frac{3}{4}$th pages of the book, which means he has left $1-\frac{3}{4}=\frac{1}{4}$th pages of the book to read.

According to the question,

$\frac{1}{4}\times x=60$

$\Rightarrow x=60\times 4=240$

The total number of pages in the books are $240$.
