Question

Ram has 60 books, and he decided to give one-quarter of the total books to Shyam and half of the total books to Laxman. How many books are left with Ram?

• A. 15
• B. 30
• C. 45
• D. 60

Answer 1

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
