B. Rs 1,08,000
C. Rs 3,60,000
D. Rs 60,000

Answer

To find the actual amount the jeweller spent in procuring the gold, we can follow these steps:

### Step 1: Identify the total cost of raw materials
The jeweller invested Rs 3,00,000 in raw materials.

### Step 2: Calculate the percentage of raw material that is gold
According to the problem, 20% of the raw material cost is gold.

### Step 3: Calculate the cost of gold
To find the actual amount spent on gold, we can calculate 20% of the total raw material cost.

\[ \text{Cost of Gold} = 20\% \text{ of } \text{Total Raw Material Cost} \]

Substituting the values:

\[ \text{Cost of Gold} = 0.20 \times 3,00,000 \]

### Step 4: Perform the calculation
Now, we perform the multiplication:

\[ \text{Cost of Gold} = 0.20 \times 3,00,000 = 60,000 \]

### Final Answer
The actual amount the jeweller had spent in procuring the gold is Rs 60,000.
