D Correct answer
Explanation

Principal = 50. Rate = 10 paise per rupee per month = 10% per month. Time = 6 months. Simple Interest = (P * R * T) / 100 = (50 * 10 * 6) / 100 = 30.

AI explanation

An interest rate of 10 paise per rupee per month equates to 10% per month. Using the simple interest formula (Principal * Rate * Time) / 100, the interest is calculated as (50 * 10 * 6) / 100 because the time period is 6 months. This calculation results in a total interest of Rs. 30.
