The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, let's break down the information given and calculate the required values. ### Step 1: Calculate the total cost of setting up the magazine The total cost consists of: - Cost of setting up the magazine: ₹2800 - Cost of paper and ink for 2000 copies - Printing cost for 2000 copies ### Step 2: Calculate the cost of paper and ink for 2000 copies The cost of paper and ink is ₹80 per 100 copies. For 2000 copies: \[ \text{Cost of paper and ink} = \left(\frac{2000}{100}\right) \times 80 = 20 \times 80 = ₹1600 \] ### Step 3: Calculate the printing cost for 2000 copies The printing cost is ₹160 per 100 copies. For 2000 copies: \[ \text{Printing cost} = \left(\frac{2000}{100}\right) \times 160 = 20 \times 160 = ₹3200 \] ### Step 4: Calculate the total investment Now, we can calculate the total investment: \[ \text{Total Investment} = \text{Setting up cost} + \text{Cost of paper and ink} + \text{Printing cost} \] \[ \text{Total Investment} = 2800 + 1600 + 3200 = ₹7600 \] ### Step 5: Calculate the total earnings from selling the copies 1500 copies were sold at ₹5 each: \[ \text{Total Earnings from sales} = 1500 \times 5 = ₹7500 \] ### Step 6: Calculate the profit realized We know that a 25% profit on the sale price was realized. To find the profit: \[ \text{Profit} = 25\% \text{ of Total Earnings} = \frac{25}{100} \times 7500 = ₹1875 \] ### Step 7: Set up the equation for profit Using the formula for profit: \[ \text{Profit} = \text{Selling Price} + \text{Advertising Income} - \text{Cost Price} \] Substituting the known values: \[ 1875 = 7500 + \text{Advertising Income} - 7600 \] ### Step 8: Solve for Advertising Income Rearranging the equation: \[ \text{Advertising Income} = 1875 + 7600 - 7500 \] \[ \text{Advertising Income} = 1875 + 100 = ₹1975 \] ### Conclusion The sum of money obtained from advertising in the magazine is **₹1975**. ---
