Question

Ila read $25$ pages of a book containing $100$ pages, Lalita read $\frac{2}{5}$ of the same book. Who reads less?

Answer 1

Numbers of pages read by IIa $=25$ pages out of $100$ ---(1)
Part of the book read by Lalita $=\frac{2}{5}$ of $100$

$=\frac{2}{5}\times 100=40$

$\Rightarrow$ Numbers of pages read by Lalita $=40$ out of $100$ --(2)
From (1) and (2),

$25<40$
So, Ila has read less number of pages.
