Answer 2)Rs. 37.5
Clearly, marked price of the book = 120% of C.P.
Also, cost of paper = 25% of C.P
Let the cost of paper for a single book be Rs. n.
Then, 120 : 25 = 180 : n
n = Rs. 37. 50

9)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%?

2)Rs. 191.5
3)Rs. 175
4)Rs. 180
5)None of these

Click to View Answer
Answer 1)Rs. 187.50
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) x 10]= Rs. 1031250
S.P. of one book = Rs. (1031250/ 5500)= Rs. 187.50

10)what % Royalty on the book is less than the printing cost?
1)5%
2)33 1/5 %
3)20 %
4)25 %
5)None of these

Click to View Answer
Answer 4)25 %
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.
Percentage difference = [ (Difference/Printing) * 100%
= [ ( 5% of C.P./Printing Cost ) x 100%] = 25%
