why option 2 is not a mistake? if highest bill amount is 0.5? If we don't know the values in the data set?

The good practice in general is always to initialize it to 0.

Dear Sir/Madam/Deepak,

I have seen the solution video & pdf. The initial value of "max" must be 0 of less (any negative number), so the solution should be Step 2 & Step 5.

Initialization of "max" to 1 is valid only when there is a condition that the bill value can't be less than Re. 1. It was not mentioned in the question.
