Solution

The correct option is C Rs. 234.3/-
Given:
Cost of one unit of electricity = Rs. 4.26/-
The reading on 1st August = 375 units
The reading on 31st August = 430 units
Units consumed during August = 430 - 375 = 55
Total amount to be paid $(E)$ in the form of electricity bill is the product of number of units consumed and the cost per unit.
$\Rightarrow$ $E = 55 \times 4.26 = Rs. 234.3/-$
