A girl want to read a complete book. She read 2/5 part of a book on 1st day, 34% on second day and remaining pages in next two days. On those two days she read equal number of pages. If she read 52 pages on last day, then find out total number of pages that the book contain ?

Correct Answer: 400

Explanation:

Let the total number of pages in the book be 'x'.

From given data,

2x/5 + 34x/100 + 52 + 52 = x

=> 40x + 34x + 10400 = 100x

=> 26x = 10400

=> x = 400.

Hence, total pages in the book are 400.
