    Answer: 13/60 of the novel is left unread.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The whole novel is assumed as 1.

    He finished 1/4 of the whole novel in first day. 1/3 of the whole novel in the second day and 1/5 of the whole in the third day. This means that the total portion of the novel that he read in 3 days is

    1/4 + 1/3 + 1/5 = (15 + 20 + 12) / 60 = 47/60

    The part of the novel that is left unread after three days would be

    1 - 47/60 = (60 - 47) / 60 = 13/60
