Detailed Solution

The question stem states that the ratio of paperback books to hardcover books is 22 to 3.
Let the number of paperback and hardcover books be 22x and 3x respectively.
So, total number of books =22x+3x=25x
So, 25x lies between 202 and 247
So, the multiple of 25 in between 202 and 247 is 225.
So, 25x=225   x=9
So,  no. of paperback books = 22x = 22×9 = 198.
Hence, Option (4) is the correct answer.
