Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 147900.
According to the give pie-chart,
Percentage expenditure on royalty = 15%
Percentage expenditure on transporation, binding and printing cost = 10% + 16% + 25%
⇒ 51%
Given, 15% = 43500
⇒ 1% = 43500/15
⇒ 51% = 2900 × 51 = 147900
