Solution

As per the question

Ila read 25 pages out of 100 pages.

Fraction of the book read by Ila =25100=14th part of book.

Lalita read 25th part of book

Comparing 25and 14:

LCM of 5 and 4 is 20

So, 25=2×45×4=820 and 14=1×54×5=520Now comparing the numerators, 8 > 5

So, 820>520
That is, 25 > 14

Therefore, Ila read less.
