What is the cost a tenant will pay if the meter reading was initially 0000 and now it is as shown in the image? Cost per unit is 8 Rs.

First the meter is read i.e., 3359 kWh from left to right. If the pointer is between two numbers, the lower number is noted, If it's between 9 and 0, 9 is noted. Then the reading is multipliid with the cost per unit i.e., Rs. 8
3359 × 8 = Rs. 26872
