- {Total} = {Fiction} + {Hardcover} - {Both} + {Neither}
N = 40 + 50 - 30 + {Neither}
N = 60 + {Neither}
The least possible value of N is when {Neither}, the number of books which are paperback nonfiction books, is 0. Hence, the least value of N is 60.
Answer: B.

The information from the question can be plotted into a 2*2 matrix as shown below. As N represents the number of books
\(N-60 \geq 0\)
\(N \geq 60\)
Least possible value of N = 60
Option B
