Answer 1

The correct answer is - 332 pages.

number of pages in the yearbook on current plan = 156

pages required for two articles = 13 pages.

The number of pages to add = ?

Solution:

1 article takes pages in the yearbook = 13/2

= 6.5

the number of pages required for 75 articles = 75*6.5

The number of pages to add in the yearbook = 487.5 - 156

= 331.5 or 332.

Thus, the correct answer is - 332 pages.
