Let there be 2x science and 5x art books 
<span>science books sold = 2x × 0.2 = 0.4x </span>
<span>science books unsold = 2x – 0.4x = 1.6x </span>

<span>art books sold = 5x × 0.2 = x </span>
<span>art books unsold = 5x – x = 4x </span>

<span>total books unsold = 1.6x + 4x = 5.6x </span>
<span>5.6x = 2240 </span>
<span>x = 400 </span>

<span>2x science = 800 </span>
<span>and 5x art books = 2000 </span>

Phantasy [73]

x + y  = 24       where x and y are the 2 parts of diagonal Other diagonal wil be smaller that 24. 
x^2 + z^2 = 13^2
y^2 + z^2  = 20^2            where z  = 0.5 * length of smaller diagonal)

form last 2 equations

y^2 - x^2  = 20^2 - 13^2  =  231
 now y = 24-x so we have

(24 - x)^2    - x^2 = 231

576 - 48x = 231

48x = 345

x =  7.1875

z^2  =  13^2 - 7.1875^2 =  117.34
z =  1.83

so smaller diagonal = 21.66 cm


looks like its the third choice.
