Answer provided by our tutors

since 1 lakh = 100,000 rupees = 10^5 rupees


12 lakhs = 12*10^5 rupees


12 lakhs 50 thousad rupees = 12*10^5 + 5*10^4 = 12*10^5 + 0.5*10^5 = 12.5*10^5 rupees


the prize money = the money won - 33%


the prize money = 12.5*10^5 - 0.33*12.5*10^5 = (1 - 0.33)*12.5*10^5 = 8.375*10^5 rupees = 8.375 lakhs = 8 lakhs 0.375*10^5 rupees = 8 lakhs 37,500 rupees


his prize money is 8.375 lakhs = 8 lakhs 37,500 rupees.
