A) 22	B) 14
C) 13	D) 11

Less books , Less binders (Direct Proportion)

More days, Less binders (Indirect proportion)

$\begin{array}{r} \begin{matrix} B o o k s & 900 : 660 \end{matrix} \\ \begin{matrix} D a y s & 12 : 10 \end{matrix} \end{array}\} ⋮ ⋮ 18 : x$

Therefore, (900 * 12 * x) = (660 * 10 * 18)

=> x = 11

=> (4 * 1 * x) = (3 * 2 * 8)

=> x=12
