    Solution

    The formula for Simple Interest (SI) is: SI = (P × R × T) / 100, where P is the principal, R is the rate, and T is the time in years. We are given: SI = ₹900, R = 5%, T = 3 years. Substituting the values into the formula: 900 = (P × 5 × 3) / 100 900 = (15P) / 100 P = (900 × 100) / 15 P = ₹6000. Correct option: c
