    A Rs. 13000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs. 13700 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs. 13500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs. 10500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the sum invested be Rs. x Therefore, simple interest received = Rs. (x – 4500) According to the question, {(x × 5 × 15)/100} = x – 4500 => 0.75x = x – 4500 => 0.25x = 4500 => x = 4500/0.25 = 18000 Therefore, simple interest received = x – 4500 = 18000 – 4500 = Rs. 13500
