Tom get 8 Books more than Jane

Step-by-step explanation:

Let say Kent Bought   15B   Books

Kent gave 1/3 of the books to Tom  = 15B/3  = 5B

Kent gave 1/5 of the books to Jane  = 15B/5  = 3B

Remaining Books  = 15B - 5B - 3B  = 7B

3/7 of the remainder to Mark  3/7 = (3/7)7B = 3B

Rest = 7B - 3B = 4B

4B = 16

=> B = 4

Tom got = 5B = 5 * 4 = 20

Jane Got = 3B = 3 * 4 = 12

20 - 12 = 8

Tom get 8 Books more than Jane
