Solution

The correct option is A 3
Total number of books in the library = 2061
Number of books in each shelf = 8

Total number of shelves = 2061 ÷ 8

We will apply long division.

So, the remainder is 5.

We need to find how many books are to be purchased so that each shelf has equal number of books.

5 is 3 less than 8, so 3 more books are to be purchased.
