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`
