Solution

The correct option is C 98, 42
Explanation:

Let the number of books received by Sanjay be $7 x$

Let the number of books received by Nived be $3 x$

$7 x + 3 x = 140$

$10 x = 140$

$x = 14$

Books received by Sanjay $= 7 \times 14$

$= 98$

Books received by Nived $= 3 \times 14$

$= 42$
