This question was previously asked in
HTET 2025 Level 1 PRT Question Paper (5-Jul-2026)
The correct answer is

90000

Percentage of books in Hindi, English and French together = 30% + 20% + 18% = 68%.

So the percentage of books in regional language = 100% - 68% = 32%.

32% of the total books = 28800.

Let the total number of books be T. Then (32/100) x T = 28800, so T = 28800 x 100/32 = 90000.

So the total number of books in the library is 90000.
