Solution1: Passenger Miami = Passenger Kennedy = 4* Passenger Logan
Therefore, Passenger Logan = 37.3/4 = 9.3 (approx)
Hence, the answer is B


Solution2: Total no. of novels = Hardback(before the papeback version sold) + Paperback + Hardback (sold alongside paperback version)
441000 = 36000 + 9x + x
10x = 405000 ----> x = 40500
Therefore, Paperback version = 40500*9 = 3645000
Hence, the answer is C


Solution3: If there is an increase of $15 if she had 12 shares more then dividend pr share is 15/12 = 1.25
Therefore, no. of shares for which dividend is $160 are 160/1.25 = 128
Hence, the answer is A
