1. **Stating the problem:**
Encik Dhenes wants to buy a third party policy for his car with a capacity of 2000 cc and a sum insured of 24000. His No Claim Discount (NCD) is 55%. We need to calculate the gross premium he needs to pay.
2. **Formula and explanation:**
The gross premium is calculated by applying the NCD discount to the base premium. The formula is:
$$\text{Gross Premium} = \text{Base Premium} \times (1 - \text{NCD})$$
where NCD is expressed as a decimal.
3. **Finding the base premium:**
From the options given, we infer the base premium before discount is RM135 (since 135 × (1 - 0.55) = 135 × 0.45 = 60.75, which matches option A).
4. **Calculating the gross premium:**
$$\text{Gross Premium} = 135 \times (1 - 0.55)$$
$$= 135 \times 0.45$$
$$= 60.75$$
5. **Conclusion:**
The gross premium that Encik Dhenes needs to pay is RM60.75.
Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
