Answer:
In a Book, Odd and Even consecutive page number are always on the same page.
Example – 1 and 2 , 3 and 4 are always on the same page.
Here –
First is 7 and 8 – odd and even so they will be on same page. ( 1 page ).
Second – 99 + 100, 101+102 even and odd, so they will on different page ( 2 page ).
Third , 221+222 and 223+224 again even and odd so again on different pages. ( 2 pages ).
Total, 1 + 2 + 2 = 5 pages.
So total Pages that were torn out were 5.
