Answer 2

Therefore the number of Hindi literature books in the library is = 348

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of total book in the library be x.

Given, the ratio of Hindi and English literature in the library is 2:3.

Then the number of Hindi literature is $=\frac{2}{2+3} \times x$  $=\frac{2x}{5}$

and the number of English literature is $=\frac{3x}{5}$

According to the problem,

$\frac{3x}{5} =522$

⇒3x= 522× 5

⇒x= 870

Therefore the number of Hindi literature books in the library is

$=\frac{2\times 870}{5}$  =348
