Various Expenditures (in percentage) Incurred in Publishing a Book
Rs. 20,000
Rs. 22,500
Rs. 25,500
Rs. 28,125
Correct answer is B
Let the Promotion Cost for this edition be Rs. p.
Then, 25 : 10 = 56250 : p => p = Rs. ( (56250 x 10)/25 ) = Rs. 22,500

Various Expenditures (in percentage) Incurred in Publishing a Book
Rs. 152.50
Rs. 157.50
Rs. 162.50
Rs. 167.50
Correct answer is B
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)/15 ) = Rs. 1968750
Therefore S.P. of one book = Rs. ( 1968750/12500 ) = Rs. 157.50

Correct answer is D
Central angle of 18° = ( 18/360 x 100 ) % of the total expenditure
= 5% of the total expenditure.
From the given chart it is clear that:
Out of the given combinations, only in combination (d) the difference is 5% i.e.
Paper Cost - Printing Cost = (25% - 20%) of the total expenditure
= 5% of the total expenditure.

Royalty on the book is less than the printing cost by:
5%
10%
20%
25%
Correct answer is D
Printing Cost of book = 20% of C.P.
Royalty on book = 15% of C.P.
Difference = (20% of C.P.) - (15% of C.P) = 5% of C.P.
Therefore Percentage difference = ( Difference/Printing Cost x 100 ) %
= ( (5% of C.P.)/Printing Cost x 100 ) % = 25%

Various Expenditures (in percentage) Incurred in Publishing a Book
Rs. 187.50
Rs. 191.50
Rs. 175
Rs. 180
Correct answer is A
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)/10 ) = Rs. 1031250
Therefore S.P. of one book = Rs. ( 1031250/5500 ) = Rs. 187.50
