Answer

Total pages of book = 100.

Fraction of book read by Shivani = $\dfrac{25}{100} = \dfrac{1}{4}$ .

Fraction of book read by Nandini = $\dfrac{2}{5}$ .

Now, compare $\dfrac{1}{4}$ and $\dfrac{2}{5}$ .

By cross multiplication,

1 × 5 = 5 and 4 × 2 = 8.

Since 5 < 8, therefore, $\dfrac{1}{4} \lt \dfrac{2}{5}$ .

So, Shivani read less than Nandini.

Hence, Shivani read less.
