When compared with production value, the selling price of mainstream newspaper is always :
Answer: A
The selling price is always less than the production cost.
A mainstream newspaper costs far more to produce, in newsprint, printing, staff and distribution, than its cover price. The gap is filled by advertising revenue, which is why newspapers are said to sell readers to advertisers: the low price builds the large circulation that advertisers pay for. Indian dailies, often sold for a few rupees, are an extreme case of this model.
'More' and 'equal' would mean the cover price alone pays for the paper, which is not the case for mainstream dailies. 'Not fixed' ignores the consistent pattern the question asks about.
