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%?
Answer: Option

105 x 281250 |  |
= Rs. 1968750. |

 S.P. of one book = Rs. |
|
1968750 | |
= Rs. 157.50 . |

Profit = 5% of C.P.
S.P = 5%+100% = 105%.
S.P = 5%+100% = 105%.
