A] Let the total number of pages be x, this is equivalent to 1/1
The fraction of novel read on the first day is 1/4 
The remaining fraction of pages will be:
1/1-1/4=3/4
Fraction read on the second day:
1/2×3/4=3/8
The remaining fraction will be:
1-(3/8+1/4)
=1-5/8
=3/8
Thus the fraction read on the third day is 3/8:
therefore:
3/8 represents 108 hence:
x=(1/1)/(3/8)×108
x=288 pages

b] The number of pages read on the second day will be:
(total number of pages)×(fraction of pages read on the second day)
total number of pages=288
fraction read on the second day=3/8
hence number of pages read on this date will be:

=288×3/8
=108
