Solution

Tickets sold for exhibition $= R s 10, 500$
$%$ given as scholarship $= 66 \frac{2}{3} % = \frac{200}{3} %$
$\Rightarrow$ Money given as scholarship $= \frac{200}{3} %$ of $10, 500$

$= \frac{\frac{200}{3}}{100} \times 10, 500$

$= \frac{200}{300} \times 10, 500$

$= R s 7000 / -$
$\Rightarrow$ Rest money used to buy for books $= 10, 500 - 7000$
$= R s 3, 500$
Money used to buy books $R s 3500 / -$
Hence, the answer is $R s 3500.$
