Solution of this viral problem


 The viral problem:

I these days of social media, even an easy problem of 5th standards are confusion peoples. Here is one of the problem gone viral in February 2023. The problem is:

"Klein reads 30 pages of a book on Monday and `\frac{1}{8}` of the book on Tuesday. He completed the remaining `\frac{1}{4}` on the book on Wednesday. How many pages are there in the book?" 

Peoples are saying that even geniuses can't solve it!!! I don't think so. Let's try together and let me know in the comment of you were able to solve it.

Let's solve it!

Solution:

Let's assume that total number of pages in the book are `p`.

On Monday=30

On Tuesday=`\frac{p}{8}`

On Wednesday=`\frac{p}{4}`

A.T.Q,

`\rightarrow 30+\frac{p}{8}+\frac{p}{4}=p`

`\rightarrow \frac{240+p+2p}{8}=p`

`\rightarrow 240+3p=8p`

`\rightarrow 240=5p`

`\rightarrow p=\frac{240}{5}`

`\rightarrow p=48`

Hence, solved that p=48
