A bookstore sold 320 books in a week, including fiction and non-fiction books. Each fiction book was sold for ₹240, and each non-fiction book for ₹180. If the total revenue earned from all the books sold was ₹65,760, find the absolute difference between the numbers of fiction books and non- fiction books sold.

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 4

Let the number of fiction books be FF and non-fiction books be NN.

F+N=320F+N=320

240F+180N=65760240F+180N=65760

Dividing the second equation by 60 gives 4F+3N=10964F+3N=1096.

Using 3F+3N=9603F+3N=960, subtraction gives F=136F=136.

N=320−136=184N=320-136=184

Absolute difference =184−136=48=184-136=48.
