Best answer

Let Mohanrao read x pages every day to finish the book in 8 days.

The number of pages read per day and the days required to finish the book are in inverse proportion. 

∴ 8 × x = 10 × 40

∴ x = (10 x 40)/8

= 50 

∴ Mohanrao will have to read 50 pages every day to finish the book in 8 days.
