If the ratio of Sinhalese books to English books is 5:3,
the English books are of all the books.
Those are all novels.
Of the remaining of the books, are not novels,
and the other are novels.

of them are novels,
of all the books are Sinhalese novels.
The novels are of all the books in the library.
