Q:

Karthik read $\frac{6}{13}$ th of a book in 1st week and $\frac{5}{9}$ th of the remaining book in 2nd week. If there were 100 pages unread after 2nd week, how many pages were there in the book ?

A) 404	B) 415
C) 418	D) 420

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 418

Explanation:

Let the total book be 1

Then, in the 1st week $\frac{6}{13}$ th of book is read

i.e remaining pages = $1 - \frac{6}{13} = \frac{7}{13}$

in 2nd week he read $\frac{5}{9}$ th of it

i.e $\frac{5}{9} \times \frac{7}{13} = \frac{35}{117}$
Remaining pages after 2nd week = $\frac{7}{13} - \frac{35}{117} = \frac{28}{117}$

But given remaining pages after 2nd week = 100

$\frac{28 x}{117} = 100$

--> x = 418

The total pages in the book are 418
