Answer

To solve the question "5% of (50% of Rs. 300)", we will follow these steps:

### Step 1: Calculate 50% of Rs. 300
First, we need to find 50% of Rs. 300.

\[ 50\% \text{ of } 300 = \frac{50}{100} \times 300 \]

Calculating this gives:

\[ = \frac{50 \times 300}{100} = \frac{15000}{100} = 150 \]

### Step 2: Calculate 5% of the result from Step 1
Next, we need to find 5% of the result we obtained in Step 1, which is Rs. 150.

\[ 5\% \text{ of } 150 = \frac{5}{100} \times 150 \]

Calculating this gives:

\[ = \frac{5 \times 150}{100} = \frac{750}{100} = 7.5 \]

### Final Answer
