Let x be the number of novels and y the number of non-fiction books.
From the question stem, we can deduce the following information
\(x + y = 12\) -> (1)
\(3x + 5y = 52\) -> (2)
Substituting y = 12 - x from (1) in (2), \(3x + 5(12 - x) = 52\)
Solving for x, we get \(3x + 60 - 5x = 52\) -> \(2x = 8\) -> \(x = 4\)
Therefore, the number of novels discussed last year is 4(Option B)

+1 for B.
number of novels the club discussed = n
total = 12 books
the number of nonfiction books = 12 – n
Given,
Club met 3 times to discuss each novel and 5 times to discuss each nonfiction book, and the club met 52 times
Therefore,
3n + 5(12 – n) = 52.
Solving n=4
Hence, B.
