To find the total number of books in the cupboard, we need to calculate (24)2 ⋅ 20.

First, we simplify (24)2: (24)2 = 24 × 24 = 576.

Now, we multiply 576 by 20: 576 × 20 = 11520.

Therefore, the total number of books in the cupboard is 11,520.

The correct answer is not among the given options, as none of them is equal to 11,520.
