Let the number of books on History, Polity and Geography be x, y and z respectively. Given, (x + y + z)/3 = 190 Or, x + y + z = 570 ….. (1) And, (x + z)/2 = 160 Or, x + z = 320 ….. (2) From equation 1 and 2 Number of books on polity = y = 250 Number of books on geography = 0.8 × 250 = 200 Therefore, number of books on history = 570 – (250 + 200) = 120
