this is a problem where words will confuse you.

trap 1: number of paperback books more than 10 (>)

total cost is less than (<) 260

now once you rule out 1 and 2 independently and take them together.

from 1 we get hardcover should be greater than or equal to 6.

put number of hardcover = 7

total cost 175

hence cost for paperback less than (260 -175) ==> < 85 if that is the case then he can not buy more than 10 paperback hence only if hardcover book's number is 6 all the conditions get satisfied.

Hence answer is C.
