Book allocation concept video

In the video while explaining the example, 40 is taken as the starting point of the monotonic search space.
why is it so ?
The minimum number of books that a student has to read would be 10 so why he took 40 instead of 10 as starting point

hello @mahima

someone has to read the book with maximum pages so our answer cant be smaller than that hence 40 is taken as starting point
