Here for better understanding,
Lets we can assume C.P.=100rs
now, 5% of C.P. is 5rs
and printing cost is 20% of C.P.=20rs
Now you can calculate:
% diff=5% of C.P./20% of C.P*100=5/20*100=25% answer.

I am not able to understand why they have divided difference by printing cost not by royalty cost?
Neelam said:

Yes. Rishant is correct. It should have been divided by the royalty.

Divide by printing cost because they are comparing the cost of royality with respect to printing cost.
