Correct Answer: 2 : 5
Solution : Use the formula below. Simple Interest = $\frac{\text{Principle×Rate×Time}}{100}$ The simple interest earned for 6 years ($SI_1$) is given by: ⇒ $SI_1$ = $\frac{P×R×6}{100}$ where $P$ and $R$ are the principal and rate of interest respectively. Simple interest earned for 15 years ($SI_2$) is given by: ⇒ $SI_2$ = $\frac{P×R×15}{100}$ So, $\frac{SI_1}{SI_2} = \frac{ \frac{P×R×6}{100}}{\frac{P×R×15}{100}}$ = $\frac{6}{15}$ = $\frac{2}{5}$ Hence, the correct answer is 2 : 5.
