How to add more PDF format to one book

How can I add more PDFs to one book ? one pdf for the book and another one for solutions.

Basically you can't, the rule is: only one of any format per book. But you can work around it, here's a couple of simple approaches,

put the solutions pdf inside an archive format like a 7z, and add the .7z file to the book and open pdf from within the archiver (e.g. 7zip)
copy the solutions pdf to .pdfsoln and add that to the book, and then 'tell' calibre's Open With feature to open .pdfsoln formats with your PDF reader.
