  • Question
  • If 5500 copies are published and the transportation cost on them amounts to Rs. 82500, then what should be the selling price of the book so that the publisher can earn a profit of 25%?


  • Options
  • A. Rs. 187.50
  • B. Rs. 191.50
  • C. Rs. 175
  • D. Rs. 180

  • Correct Answer
  • Rs. 187.50 

    Explanation
    For the publisher to earn a profit of 25%, S.P. = 125% of C.P.

    Also Transportation Cost = 10% of C.P.

    Let the S.P. of 5500 books be Rs. x.

    Then, 10 : 125 = 82500 : x     ⟹     x = Rs. 125 x 82500 = Rs. 1031250.
    10

    ∴ S.P. of one book = Rs. 1031250 = Rs. 187.50 .
    5500
