The pie chart represents the various expenses involved in the publishing business. Study the given pie chart and answer the question that follows.

If the total expenditure in bringing out the book is ₹2,50,000, then what will be the amount of printing charges plus authors' royalties?

Correct option is D

Given:
Total expenditure = ₹2,50,000
Printing Cost = 30%
Authors' Royalties = 24%
Formula Used:
​$$\text{Amount} = \left( \frac{\text{Percentage}}{100} \right) \times \text{Total Expenditure}$$​​
Solution:
Printing Cost = $$\left( \frac{30}{100} \right) \times 2,50,000 = \text{₹} 75,000$$​​
Authors' Royalties = $$\left( \frac{24}{100} \right) \times 2,50,000$$​ = ₹60,000
Total for Printing Charges + Authors' Royalties = ₹75,000 + ₹60,000 = ₹1,35,000
Therefore, the amount of printing charges plus authors' royalties is ₹1,35,000.
