Could you update the question on this page to match the question in the downloadable PDF(8 small, 2 large). It took me a while to figure out that the solutions on this page don't match the question at the top of the page(7 small books, 3 large).

Since Romi can take at most 1 large book then he can take with him either 5 small books or 4 small books and 1 large book: \(C^5_8+C^4_8*C^1_2=56+140=196\).
Answer: D.
