Correct Answer: 3 years
Solution : Given: The ratio of a certain principal and the simple interest obtained from it are in the ratio 10 : 3 at 10% interest per annum. Simple interest (SI) = $\frac{P×R×T}{100}$, where $P$ is the principal amount, $R$ is the rate of interest per annum, and $T$ is the time in years. According to the question, Let principal = $10x$, SI = $3x$, and rate = 10% So, $3x =\frac{10x\times T\times 10 }{100}$ ⇒ $T = \frac{3x \times 100}{10x \times 10} = 3$ years Hence, the correct answer is 3 years.
