Let the number of books be = x.

Total cost of the books = Rs. 60.

∴ Cost of each book =Rs.

If the number of books is (x + 5), then the cost of each book = Rs.

x+5

60

Difference in cost is one rupee = Cost of each book when number of books is (x) - Cost of each book when number of books is (x + 5)

x(x+20)−15(x+20)=0

(x+20)(x−15)=0

x+20=0 or x−15=0

∴x=−20 or x=15

∴ Number of books = x = 15

Number of books cannot be negative. Hence, -20 is rejected.

∴ Cost of each book =
