ANSWERS
1. : (3)
Let the amount of Royalty to be paid for these books be Rs. r.
Then, 20 : 15 = 30600 : r
r = Rs. 22,950


2. : (3)
Central angle corresponding to Royalty = (15% of 360)º
[(15/100) *360] = 54


3. : (2)
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


4. : (1)
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


5. : (4)
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%
