Correct Answer: Rs. 110
Solution : Let the cost price of a book be $x$. Selling price of 15 books = Rs. 2200 Price includes the cost price of 15 books plus the gain, which is the cost price of 5 books. According to the question, $15x + 5x = 2200$ ⇒ $20x = 2200$ ⇒ $x = \frac{2200}{20} = 110$ Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 110.
