Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Let the number of newspapers = x
If each student reads one paper, then number of students = 60x
But, each student reads 5 newspapers.
So, number of students = `(60x)/5`
According to the question, `(60 x)/5 = 300 `
or, `x = 1500/60 = 25`
So, the required number of newspapers = `x = 25. `
