For an edition of 12,500 copies, the amount of Royalty paid by the publisher is Rs. 2,81,250. What should be the selling price of the book if the publisher desires a profit of 5%?

Rs. 152.50
Rs. 157.50
Rs. 162.50
Rs. 167.50

Correct Answer: Rs. 157.50

Explanation:

Clearly, S.P. of the book = 105% of C.P.

Let the selling price of this edition (of 12500 books) be Rs. x.

Then, 15 : 105 = 281250 : x ⟹ x = Rs.	❨	105 x 281250	❩	= Rs. 1968750.
		15

∴ S.P. of one book = Rs.	❨	1968750	❩	= Rs. 157.50 .
		12500
