₹1,35,000

Analyzing Book Expenditure Components

The question asks for the combined amount of printing charges plus authors' royalties.

We are given the total expenditure for bringing out the book:

  • Total Expenditure = ₹2,50,000

The goal is to find the sum: Printing Charges + Authors' Royalties.

Calculating Required Expenditure

Missing Data Identification: The provided question details the total expenditure but does not include a breakdown of how this amount is distributed among different cost categories (e.g., printing, author royalties, binding, marketing, overheads, etc.). This data is essential for determining the specific amounts for printing charges and author royalties.

Determining the Correct Answer's Basis: The correct answer is given as Option A, ₹1,35,000. To verify this, we can calculate what percentage this amount represents of the total expenditure:

Percentage = (Amount / Total Expenditure) $\times$ 100

Percentage = (₹1,35,000 / ₹2,50,000) $\times$ 100

Percentage = 0.54 $\times$ 100 = 54%

This indicates that, for Option A to be correct, the combined printing charges and author royalties must account for 54% of the total expenditure.

Conclusion on Calculation: Without the specific cost breakdown data (percentages or individual values for each component of the ₹2,50,000 total expenditure), it's impossible to perform an independent calculation to arrive at the exact sum for printing charges and author royalties. However, aligning with the provided correct answer, the target sum is ₹1,35,000.
