Let the number of books on History, Polity and Geography be x, y and z respectively. Given, (x + y + z)/3 = 144 Or, x + y + z = 432 ….. (1) And, (x + z)/2 = 140 Or, x + z = 280 ….. (2) From equation 1 and 2 Number of books on polity = y = 152 Number of books on geography = 0.75 × 152 = 114 Therefore, number of books on history = 432 – (152 + 114) = 166
