Solution

To calculate simple interest, we use the formula:

Interest = (Principal amount * Rate * Time) / 100

Here, the principal amount is Rs. 68,000. The rate is 16(2/3)% which is equivalent to 50/3 %. The time is 9 months, but since the rate is per annum, we need to convert this to years. So, 9 months is 9/12 = 0.75 years.

Substituting these values into the formula, we get:

Interest = (68000 * 50/3 * 0.75) / 100

Solving this, we get the interest as Rs. 8500. So, the correct choice is Rs. 8500.
