Correct Answer: The sum of the cost incurred towards payment of royalty and the cost of editing is INR 2,76,500.


Solution : Given: Retailer's margin = 22.5%, Royalty = 10% and Editing = 7.5%
The retailer's margin is INR 3,55,500.
Now 22.5% is equivalent to INR 3,55,500.
So, (10 + 7.5) = 17.5% is equivalent to $\frac{355500×17.5}{22.5}$ = INR 2,76,500
Hence, the correct answer is "The sum of the cost incurred towards payment of royalty and the cost of editing is INR 2,76,500".
