Answer 1

Answer:

Thickness of each page will be 0.00785 cm

So option (E) will be correct answer

Explanation:

We have given that last page on the book is numbered as 764

So total number of pages in the book $=\frac{764}{2}=382pages$ ( as each page is numbered in both side )

Total thickness of the book = 3 cm

We have to found the thickness of the each page

So thickness of each page will be $=\frac{3}{382}=0.00785cm$

So option (E) is correct option
