Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Hitesh withdrew rupee 9,000 on 1st November, 2022. 

Time period = 5 months (November to March). \[ \text{Interest on drawings} = \text{Amount withdrawn} \times\text {Rate} \times \text{Time} \] \[ \text{Interest} = rupee 9,000 \times \frac{8}{100} \times \frac{5}{12} = rupee 300 \]
