Let Salman has x number of books
Then, Aslam would have 4x books
and Let Javed has y number of books
Then, Aslam would have 5y books
Thus,
4x = 5y
Now Javed has more than 40 books thus least number of book javed could have = 41
Thus, putting y = 40 in equation 1
x = 5*41/4
But, on solving x is not a whole number
Thus the least whole number value of y which would give us a whole number value of x is 44
Thus, x = 5 * 44 / 4 = 55
Thus, Aslam could have atleast 4x or 4*55 = 220 or 5y= 5*44= 220 books
Thus, Aslam would have atleast 220 books
If it is correct and you completely understood it.......Please mark it brainliest
