B. 2500

C. 3000

D. 3200

Answer: Option A

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Let there are X books in the library.
Number of Hindi books = 60% of X = $$\frac{{60{\text{X}}}}{{100}}$$  = 0.6X
Remaining Books = X - 0.6X = 0.4X
Number English books = 40% of reaming books = 60% of 0.4X = 0.24X.
Urdu Books = X-0.6X -0.24X = 0.16X
Given,
0.24X = 3600
X $$ = \frac{{3600}}{{0.24}} = 15000$$
Urdu Books = 0.16X = 0.16 × 15000 = 2400
