Correct Answer: 100
Solution :
Let the number of Science books be added as \(x\).
Initially, the ratio of Science to English books is 10 : 13, and there are 400 Science books. The number of English books = $\frac{13}{10}$ × 400 = 520
After adding \(x\) Science books, the ratio becomes 25 : 26.
$⇒\frac{{400 + x}}{{520}} = \frac{{25}}{{26}}$
$⇒x = \frac{{25 \times 520}}{{26}} - 400$
$⇒x=25 \times 20-400$
$⇒x=100$
Hence, the correct answer is 100.
