Let's represent the number of pages in the smaller part by "x".
According to the problem, the other part has twice as many pages as the smaller part. So, the number of pages in the larger part can be represented as "2x".
We know that the book has a total of 450 pages, so we can write the following equation:
x + 2x = 450
Simplifying the equation, we get:
3x = 450
x = 150
Therefore, the number of pages in the smaller part is 150 and the number of pages in the larger part is:
2x = 2(150) = 300
Hence, the part having the greater number of pages is 300.
Answer: C
