Solution
The correct option is A 15 Ram gave one quarter books to Shyam and half of the total books to Laxman.
We know that two quarters make a half.
So both Shyam and Laxman will have two quarters + one quarters = three quarters.
Out of one whole if 3 quarters are finished the remaining part will be one quarter as one full - three quarters = one quarter
We know how to find a quarter of a given number.
We need to calculate 60 divided by 4
60 ÷ 4 = 15
