a) 60 books occupy 1.5m of shelf
∴, 1 book occupies (1.5/60) m of shelf
∴, 200 books occupy {(1.5/60)×200} m of shelf
=(1.5/6)×20
=30/6
=5m of shelf Ans.
b) now, 5m=500cm is occupied by 200 books
∴, 1cm is occupied by (200/500) books
∴, 80cm is occupied by (200/500)×80 books
=(2/5)×80
=2×16
=32 books Ans.
