d) 8.33 paise

Answer 1

The cost of two pages of the Navyug newspaper is 16.66 paise.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's calculate the cost of two pages of the Navyug newspaper. First, we determine the cost of one newspaper. Since 100 newspapers cost Rs 125, the cost of one newspaper is Rs 125 divided by 100, which equals Rs 1.25. A newspaper comprises 15 pages, so to find the cost per page, we divide Rs 1.25 by 15, resulting in Rs 0.0833 per page. Therefore, the cost of two pages is Rs 0.0833 times 2, which is Rs 0.1666, or 16.66 paise.
