Answer:

The book is 130 pages.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets says total number of the pages is x and remaining page after Rani reads is y. We can write below equivalents

[tex]x=52+y[/tex]

[tex]x/2=52+y/6[/tex]

second equivalent can be turn into:

[tex]3x=312+y[/tex]

If we subtract this equivalent from first one:

[tex]2x=260\\x=130\\[/tex]
