Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. The sum of the cost incurred towards payment of royalty and the cost of editing is ₹2,76,500.
the retailer's margin = 3,55,500
So, 22.5% = 3,55,500
⇒ 1% = 15800
Value of royalty and editing = 10% + 7.5% = 17.5%
⇒ 17.5% = 17.5 × 15800 = 276500
Hence option 2 is correct
