    Solution

    Let the number of books with ‘Aarav’, ‘Bhavna’, and ‘Chirag’ be ‘x’, ‘y’, and ‘z’, respectively. Therefore, x+y=z+18 ………(1) y+z=x+12 ………(2) x+z=40 ………(3) Add equations (1), (2), and (3): 2(x+y+z)=x+z+70 Or, 2(x+y+z)=40+70 Or, x+y+z=110/2=55 Thus, the total number of books with Aarav, Bhavna, and Chirag together is 55.
