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%?

[A].	Rs. 152.50
[B].	Rs. 157.50
[C].	Rs. 162.50
[D].	Rs. 167.50

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

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		= Rs. 1968750.
		15

S.P. of one book = Rs.		1968750		= Rs. 157.50 .
		12500
