$$\begin{gathered} \mathrm{Geeta}\mathrm{ate}\mathrm{apple}\mathrm{on}\mathrm{monday}=\frac{1}{4}\mathrm{apple}. \\ \mathrm{Remaining}\mathrm{apple}=1-\frac{1}{4}=\frac{3}{4}\mathrm{apple} \\ \mathrm{Geeta}\mathrm{ate}\mathrm{apple}\mathrm{on}\mathrm{tuesday}=\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{3}{4}=\frac{3}{8}\mathrm{apple}. \\ \mathrm{Geeta}\mathrm{ate}\mathrm{apple}\mathrm{on}\mathrm{both}\mathrm{days}=\frac{1}{4}+\frac{3}{8}=\frac{5}{8}\mathrm{apple}. \\ \mathrm{She}\mathrm{ate}\frac{5}{8}\mathrm{fraction}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{entire}\mathrm{apple} \\ \mathrm{Remainig}/\mathrm{left}\mathrm{apple}=1-\frac{5}{8}=\frac{3}{8}\mathrm{apple}. \end{gathered}$$
