Correct Answer: 300


Solution : Here, P = INR 12,300
R = 12%
T = from 22 May 1993 to 2 August 1993 (both days are included)
May = (31 – 22 + 1) days = 10 days
June = 30 days
July = 31 days
August = 2 days
Total time = 10 + 30 + 31 + 2 = 73 days
In years, total time = $\frac{73}{365}$ year
Simple interest = $\frac{\text{Principal × Rate × Time}}{100}$
⇒ Simple interest = $\frac{12300\times 12\times 73}{100\times 365}$
⇒ Simple interest = $\frac{29520}{100}\approx$ INR 300
Hence, the correct answer is 300.
