Question 136

If 550 copies are published and the transportation cost on them amounts to ₹8250, then the selling price of the book so that the publisher can earn a profit of 25% is:

Solution

Transportation cost of 1 book = $$\frac{8250}{550}=15$$

=> Percentage distribution on transportation cost = 10%

Thus, total cost price of a book = $$\frac{15}{10}\times100=Rs.$$ $$150$$

Profit % = 25%

=> Selling price = $$150+(\frac{25}{100}\times150)$$

= $$150+37.50=Rs.$$ $$187.50$$

=> Ans - (C)
