Single copies of a book cost Rs.16 each, but purchasers of 20 or more books pay only Rs.13 per book. What is the value of n<20 for which one could buy 20 books at a lower total cost than one could buy exactly "n" books?

The number 18 is halfway between 16 and 20.
So maybe that is the reason why the answer is 18?
To be honest I don't know but hopefully someone here will be able to give you a proper answer.
