Answer & Explanation Q1. Answer: (C) Let the amount of Royalty to be paid for these books be Rs. r. Then, 20 : 15 = 30600 : r ð r = Rs. 22,950 Q2. Answer: (C) Central angle corresponding to Royalty = (15% of 360)º [(15/100) *360]0 = 540 Q3. Answer: (B) 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 Q4. Answer: (A) 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 Q5. Answer: (D) 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%
