Question

Lalita read 30 pages of a book containing 100 pages while Sarita read $\frac{2}{5}$ of the book. Who read more?

Answer 1

Lalita read 30 pages of a book having 100 pages.
Sarita read $\frac{2}{5}$ of the same book.
$\frac{2}{5}$ of 100 pages = ​$\frac{2}{5}\times 100=\frac{200}{5}=40\mathrm{pages}$
Hence, Sarita read more pages than Lalita as 40 is greater than 30.
