Concept: 1 Mark
Application: 2 Marks

Time taken by Lipika to read a book $=1\frac{3}{4}hours$
She reads entire book in 6 days
Now, total hours taken by her to read the entire book $=1\frac{3}{4}\times 6=\frac{7}{4}\times 6=\frac{21}{2}=10\frac{1}{2}hours$
Thus, $10\frac{1}{2}$ hours were required by her to read the book
