Let the number of novels on historical, thriller and fantasy be x, y and z respectively. Given, (x + y + z)/3 = 170 => x + y + z = 510 β¦.. (1) And, (x + z)/2 = 140 => x + z = 280 β¦.. (2) From equation 1 and 2 Number of novels on thriller = y = 230 Number of novels on fantasy = 0.8 Γ 230 = 184 Therefore, number of novels on historical = 510 β (230 + 184) = 96
