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 $F$ and non-fiction books be $N$. $F+N=320$ $240F+180N=65760$ Dividing the second equation by 60 gives $4F+3N=1096$. Using $3F+3N=960$, subtraction gives $F=136$. $N=320-136=184$ Absolute difference $=184-136=48$.
