Given :

Total Amount : ₹13500

Rate of interest : 10%

Time : 1 year 3 months

To find :

The sum (principle) borrowed by Lalita.

Solution :

First, we should find the simple interest.

Simple interest :

\sf \dashrightarrow SI = \dfrac{P \times R \times T}{100}

\sf \dashrightarrow \dfrac{P \times 10 \times 5}{100 \times 4}

\sf \dashrightarrow \dfrac{P \times 1 \times 5}{10 \times 4}

\sf \dashrightarrow \dfrac{P \times 1}{2 \times 4}

\sf \dashrightarrow \dfrac{P}{8}

Now, we'll find the value of principle by the formula of total amount.

\sf \dashrightarrow Total \: Amount = Principle + Simple \: Interest

\sf \dashrightarrow 13500 = P + \dfrac{P}{8}

\sf \dashrightarrow 13500 = \dfrac{8P + P}{8}

\sf \dashrightarrow 13500 = \dfrac{9P}{8}

\sf \dashrightarrow \dfrac{9P}{8} = 13500

\sf \dashrightarrow 9P = 13500 \times 8

\sf \dashrightarrow 9P = 108000

\sf \dashrightarrow P = \dfrac{108000}{9}

\sf \dashrightarrow P = 12000

Hence, the principle amount borrowed is ₹12000.
