The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the statements is correct, we will analyze both statements step by step. ### Statement 1: Mrs. Soni bought `7 1/2` litres of milk. Out of this, `5 3/4` litres was consumed. We need to check if `1 1/3` litres of milk is left with her. **Step 1: Convert mixed numbers to improper fractions.** - `7 1/2` litres can be converted: \[ 7 \frac{1}{2} = \frac{7 \times 2 + 1}{2} = \frac{14 + 1}{2} = \frac{15}{2} \text{ litres} \] - `5 3/4` litres can be converted: \[ 5 \frac{3}{4} = \frac{5 \times 4 + 3}{4} = \frac{20 + 3}{4} = \frac{23}{4} \text{ litres} \] - `1 1/3` litres can be converted: \[ 1 \frac{1}{3} = \frac{1 \times 3 + 1}{3} = \frac{3 + 1}{3} = \frac{4}{3} \text{ litres} \] **Step 2: Calculate the remaining milk after consumption.** - Remaining milk = Total milk - Consumed milk \[ \text{Remaining milk} = \frac{15}{2} - \frac{23}{4} \] - To subtract these fractions, we need a common denominator. The least common multiple of 2 and 4 is 4. - Convert `15/2` to have a denominator of 4: \[ \frac{15}{2} = \frac{15 \times 2}{2 \times 2} = \frac{30}{4} \] - Now subtract: \[ \frac{30}{4} - \frac{23}{4} = \frac{30 - 23}{4} = \frac{7}{4} \text{ litres} \] **Step 3: Compare the calculated remaining milk with the given remaining milk.** - We found that the remaining milk is `7/4` litres. - Convert `7/4` to a mixed number: \[ \frac{7}{4} = 1 \frac{3}{4} \] - The statement claims that `1 1/3` litres is left, which is not equal to `1 3/4`. Therefore, Statement 1 is incorrect. ### Statement 2: Amit reads `(3/5)` of a book and finds that there are still 80 pages left to be read. We need to verify if the total number of pages in the book is 200. **Step 1: Let the total number of pages be \( P \).** - According to the problem, if Amit reads `(3/5)` of the book, then the pages he has read can be expressed as: \[ \text{Pages read} = \frac{3}{5}P \] - The remaining pages are: \[ \text{Remaining pages} = P - \frac{3}{5}P = \frac{2}{5}P \] - We know from the problem that the remaining pages equal 80: \[ \frac{2}{5}P = 80 \] **Step 2: Solve for \( P \).** - Multiply both sides by 5 to eliminate the fraction: \[ 2P = 80 \times 5 \] \[ 2P = 400 \] - Now divide by 2: \[ P = \frac{400}{2} = 200 \] **Step 3: Check the calculation.** - If the total number of pages is 200, then the pages read would be: \[ \frac{3}{5} \times 200 = 120 \text{ pages} \] - The remaining pages would be: \[ 200 - 120 = 80 \text{ pages} \] - This matches the information given in the statement. ### Conclusion: - Statement 1 is incorrect. - Statement 2 is correct. Thus, the correct answer is that **only Statement 2 is correct**.

To determine which of the statements is correct, we will analyze both statements step by step. ### Statement 1: Mrs. Soni bought `7 1/2` litres of milk. Out of this, `5 3/4` litres was consumed.
