The rate prevailing on the date of purchase of goods is to be considered for conversion of USD into RS. Which means USD 1 =Rs. 50 and 51 on 05/10 and 08/10 respectively

As per Para 9 of AS 11-Foreign currency transaction should be recorded, on initial recognition in the reporting currency, by applying to the foreign currency amount the exchange rate between the reporting currency and the foreign currency at the date of the transaction.
The date of transaction is the date of invoice and not when you book it in the books of accounts

The date of transaction would be, as per generally accepted accounting principles, the date on which buyer obtains significant risks & rewards of ownership in the goods which is generally the invoice date but can not be the date on which the transaction is recorded in the books.
