$300 \cdot 5 = 1500$ "readings" Numbers of "readings" = $n \cdot 60$ where $n$ ist the number of newspapers. So $60 n = 1500$ and therefore $n = 25$ |

Please Note: I made the assumption that each student has his own copy of newspaper. Since, There are 300 students reading 5 newspapers each, so Therefore there must be 1500 newspapers copies. Since each Newspaper is read by 60 students$\implies$ Each newspaper has 60 copies. So Total number of different Newspapers required = $\dfrac{1500}{60}=25$. |
