Number of lines = N
x = 10N

After adding 10 more books, Number of lines = M
x+10 = 12M

10N +10 = 12M
10(N+1)/12 = M
5(N+1)/6 = M
Value of (N,M) can be = (5,5), (11,10), (17,15), etc

X=?

1). x<96
10N<96
N<10
(5,5) agrees
X = 50
Suff

2). x>24
10N>24
N>2
Insuff

@Rijul,

As far as what i can understand given the Question is that the no of selves will be same in any case. And in your explanation you have actually considered different shelf values.

Can anyone please help me clarify this thing. I am lost here.
