If the question is typed correctly, the answer is 

NIL

because X is not a party to this bill, and therefore there is no bad debts for him.

 

 

The question has been typed incorrectly. It is "in the books of X"

And the correct options are: A. Rs.12360 B. Rs.18540 C. Rs.30900 D. Rs.30000

if its so,

30000 +

(30000 * 18% * 60 days/360days)

=30900 will be the total payable amount

out of which K could pay 60 paise for a rupee, so that he can pay 

30900 *.6 = 18540

and bad debt will be 30900 - 18540 = 12360
