Let number of English book sold be $$x$$, so number of maths book sold $$=3x$$. Here $$x$$ is a positive integer

Total revenue $$=60*x+100*3x=360x$$

So Revenue generated will be a multiple of $$360$$. Out of the options only $$4380$$ is not a multiple of $$360$$

Option D

The total must be a multiple of 9 and option D is the only one that contradicts this statement.

Since the Mathematics books are 3 times the number of English books,
if there are x English books, there will be 3x Mathematics books
English - 60 - $$2^2*3*5*x$$
Mathematics - 100 - $$2^2*5^2*3*x$$

Total = $$2^2*3*5*(x + 5x) = 2^2*3^2*x*10$$

Evaluating answer options
(A) 1080 = 36*3*10
(B) 2880 = 36*8*10
(C) 3600 = 36*100
(D) 4380 is not divisble by 36
(E) 6120 - 36*17*10

Therefore, 4380(Option D) is the revenue that cannot be generated by the sale of these books.
