  • Correct Answer
  • December 29, 1990 

    Explanation

    Clearly S.I. on Rs. 17850 at 5% is Rs. 357.
    ? Time = (100 x 357) / (17850 x 5) = 2/5 = 146 days
    So, the bill is 146 days prior to 24th May, the legally due date
    May, April, March, Feb., Jan.,Dec.,
    = 24 + 30 + 31 + 28 + 31 + 2 = 146 days
    So, the bill was discounted on 29 Dec. 1990.
