उत्तर
Let us suppose Mohanrao will have to read x pages every day to finish the book in 8 days.
As the number of days decreases, the number of pages increases.
So, the number of days and number of pages are in inverse proportion.
∴ 10 × 40 = 8 × x
⇒ x = `400/8`
⇒ x = 50 pages
Hence, Mohanrao will have to read 50 pages every day to finish the book in 8 days
