Correct Answer: Rs. 16000
Solution : Given: Simple interest = Rs. 600 Time = 3 months = $\frac{3}{12}$ years Rate = 15% We know that, Simple interest = $\frac{\text{Principal × Rate × Time}}{100}$ ⇒ $600 = \frac{\text{Principal × 15 × 3}}{100\times12}$ ⇒ Principal = $\frac{600 × 100 × 12}{15\times3}$ = 16000 Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 16000.
