Detailed Solution

Given that a book has 100 pages and Lalita read 30 pages of the book.
Let the fractions of Lalita's and Sarita's number of pages read to be,
In the case of Lalita,
30 100 = 3 10   In the case of Sarita,
2 5 Changing the fractions into like fractions,
3 10 × 1 1 = 3 10 2 5 × 2 2 = 4 10 For like fractions the fraction with a greater numerator will be greater,
  4 10 > 3 10 2 5 > 3 10
So, Sarita read more than Lalita as,
2 5 > 3 10
Hence, option (1) is correct.
