Detailed Solution

If on a shelf, books with a green cover and that with a brown cover are in the ratio of 2:3 and 18 books with a green cover, then the number of books with a brown cover is 27.
Let us assume that 2x is the number of books with a green cover and 3x is the number of books with a brown cover.
According to the statement,
2x=18  
x=9  
So, the number of books with brown covers is 3x where x is 9 which is 27 books.
Hence, the correct answer is 27.
