Explanation

Since the marginal cost of production is zero, ABC Publishing should set prices based on the maximum willingness to pay. Raheel's total willingness to pay is Rs 90 (75 + 15), and Mariam's total is Rs 85 (60 + 25). To maximize revenue when charging separately, the publisher should choose a combined price that both customers can afford. Setting the total price at Rs 75 ensures both customers can purchase, maximizing sales and revenue.
