  • Question
  • 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%?


  • Options
  • A. Rs. 152.50
  • B. Rs. 157.50
  • C. Rs. 162.50
  • D. 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
