Solution

$\begin{matrix} Cost of the books sold in first week & = ₹ 2, 85, 891 Cost of the books sold in second week & = ₹ 4, 00, 768 Total cost of the books sold(i.e sum) & = ₹ 6, 86, 659 \end{matrix}$

Therefore, the sale for the two weeks together = ₹ 6,86,659.

Since 4,00,768 > 2,85,891
Therefore, sale of second week is greater than that of first week.

$\begin{matrix} Cost of the books sold in second week & = ₹ 4, 00, 768 Cost of the books sold in first week & = ₹ 2, 85, 891 Difference & = ₹ 1, 14, 877 \end{matrix}$

Therefore, 1,14,877 more books were sold in the second week.
