Solution
The correct option is C exactly 25 Each newspaper is read by 60 students. Then, for 300 students there would be a need of 30060=5. Now each student is required to read 5 newspapers. Hence, total newspapers required in the college will be 5×5=25 newspapers. ∴ Exactly 25 newspapers will be required.
