This question was previously asked in
SSC CGL 2016 (Tier 1) Previous Year Question Paper (11-Sep-2016) (Shift 2)
The correct answer is

Rs. 4800

The provided image shows a pie chart representing the distribution of costs associated with publishing a book. The chart clearly indicates that the cost of printing constitutes 70% of the total cost. The royalty is represented by 10% of the total cost.

Given that the cost of printing is Rs. 16,800, we can set up a proportion to find the total cost:

70% of total cost = Rs. 16,800

Let 'x' represent the total cost. Then we have:

\(0.7x = 16800\)

Solving for x:

\(x = \frac{16800}{0.7} = 24000\)

Therefore, the total cost is Rs. 24,000.

Now we can calculate the royalty, which is 10% of the total cost:

Royalty = 10% of Rs. 24,000

Royalty = \(0.1 \times 24000 = 2400\)

There seems to be an error in the question or provided answer. Based on the pie chart, the royalty should be Rs. 2400, not Rs. 4800. The provided image and data are inconsistent. Please double check the question and provided answer.
