This case can be approached in an easier way with the help of options. For one year 12 percent interest then for 3 years it would b 36 percent. Therefore (36 percent of ---------= 5400) is the answer. 36 percent of 15000 is 5400 so option c is the answer.

For 1 year 12% then for 3 years 36%(12+12+12)(this is only for S.I not for C.I).
Take 100 as principal then 36 rs interest for 100 then,
5400..............?(Principal).
(5400/36)x100 = 15000.
Take 100 as principal then 36 rs interest for 100 then,
5400..............?(Principal).
(5400/36)x100 = 15000.

Interest= principal * rate * time.
5400 = principal * 12/100 * 3.
5400 = principal * 36/100.
5400 * 100 = principal * 36,
540000= 36 principal.
540000/36 = principal.
15000 = principal.
5400 = principal * 12/100 * 3.
5400 = principal * 36/100.
5400 * 100 = principal * 36,
540000= 36 principal.
540000/36 = principal.
15000 = principal.

Let the principal amount be p
simple interest=p*n*r/100
so, p*3*12/100=Rs.5400
p*36/100=5400
p=5400*100/36
p=Rs.15000
Thus we can get the answer....
simple interest=p*n*r/100
so, p*3*12/100=Rs.5400
p*36/100=5400
p=5400*100/36
p=Rs.15000
Thus we can get the answer....

In 1 year interest is 5400/3=1800rs.
12rs interest in 100 rs principal.
Then 1800rs interest for (1800*100)/12=15000rs(answer).
12rs interest in 100 rs principal.
Then 1800rs interest for (1800*100)/12=15000rs(answer).

5400 is a multiply by 100 then,
12 * 3 means rate of interest of 3 years so,
540000/ 36 = 15000.
So,
Principle amount = 15000.
12 * 3 means rate of interest of 3 years so,
540000/ 36 = 15000.
So,
Principle amount = 15000.

SIMPLE INTEREST = 5400.
T = 3.
R = 12.
P = ?
S.I = P*T*R/100.
THEREFORE P = S.I*100/T*R.
= 5400*100/12*3.
= 15000.
T = 3.
R = 12.
P = ?
S.I = P*T*R/100.
THEREFORE P = S.I*100/T*R.
= 5400*100/12*3.
= 15000.

Actually 12% written as 12/100 right. Then how it's came 100/12 can anybody explain?
Thanks.
Thanks.

@Naveen
'p' is principle,
't' is time,
'n' is number of years and
'r' is rate of interest.

S.I=P*T*R/100
SIMPLE INTEREST=5400
T=3
R=12
THEREFORE P=S.I*100/T*R
=5400*100/12*3
=15000
SIMPLE INTEREST=5400
T=3
R=12
THEREFORE P=S.I*100/T*R
=5400*100/12*3
=15000
