: Let the number of biology, chemistry and physics books be B, C and P. B+C+P =360×3=1080 B+C+P=1080   … (1) Biology books =180+Average number of (C and P) B=180+(C+P)/2 2B=360+C+P 2B-C-P=360     … (2) Physics books =Average of (B+C)/2 -180 P=B+C)/2 -180 2P=B+C-360 B+C-2P=360    … (3) Adding Equation (1) and (3) and subtracting (2) ... (B+C+P) + B+C-2P -2B+C+P=1080+360-360 3C=1080 C=360.
