  1. A man took a loan from a bank at the rate of 12% per annum at simple interest. After 3 years he had to pay 5,400 as interest only for the period. The principal amount borrowed by him was :
    1. 2,000
    2. 10,000
    3. 20,000
    4. 15,000
Correct Option: D

Let the principal be P.
Here , SI = ₹ 5400 , Rate = 12% , Time = 3 years
As we know that ,

SI =
Principal × Time × Rate
100

⇒ 5400 =
P × 12 × 3
100

P =
5400 × 100
= ₹ 15000
12 × 3
