Correct Answer: Rs. 22.50


Solution : Given that the marked price of the book is 20% above the cost price and the marked price is Rs. 180.
Let the cost price be C.
⇒ C + 0.20C = 180
⇒ 1.20C = 180
$\therefore$ C = Rs. 150
The cost of paper is 15% of the total cost.
The cost of paper for a single copy of the book = 0.15 × 150 = Rs. 22.50
Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 22.50.
