Detailed Solution & Explanation

**Derivation of Principal Amount** Given: - Monthly simple interest = Rs. 1,200\displaystyle \text{Rs. }1,200 - Rate of Interest (R\displaystyle R) = 18%\displaystyle 18\% per annum - Time (T\displaystyle T) = 1\displaystyle 1 month = 112\displaystyle \frac{1}{12} year **Step 1: Set up the Simple Interest formula** SI=P×R×T100SI = \frac{P \times R \times T}{100} 1200=P×18×1121001200 = \frac{P \times 18 \times \frac{1}{12}}{100} 1200=1.5P1001200 = \frac{1.5 P}{100} 1200=0.015P1200 = 0.015 P **Step 2: Solve for P\displaystyle P** P=12000.015=Rs. 80,000P = \frac{1200}{0.015} = \text{Rs. }80,000 Hence, **Option C** is the correct answer.
