  Show/Hide Explanation 

Correct Answer: E

One dollar converted to 39.1 Rupees on Jan. 9. Hence, 100 dollars converts to 39.15 × 100 = 3915 Pak Rupees. On February 8, it converted to 39.65 Rupees. Hence, on that day, 100 dollars converted to 39.65 × 100 = 3965 Rupees. The increase in terms of Indian Rupees is 3965 – 3915 = 50. The answer is (E).
