A sum fetched a total simple interest of Rs. 4500 at the rate of 9% per annum in 5 years. What was the sum?

Correct option is A

Given:

The simple interest = Rs. 4500

Rate = 9% per annum

Time =5 years.

Formula Used:

SI = $$\frac{P \times R \times T}{100}$$​​

Solution:

To find the principal (P):

P =$$\frac{SI \times 100}{R \times T}$$ 

45%=4500

So, 100% =$$\frac{4500}{45}\times100$$ =10000​
