  1. Correct answer: (D) 15000
    Explanation:

    Interest I=P×R×T100I = \frac{P \times R \times T}{100}
    Here, I=5400I = 5400, R=12%R = 12\%, and T=3 years.
    Substitute the values:
    5400=P×12×31005400 = \frac{P \times 12 \times 3}{100}

    5400=36P1005400 = \frac{36P}{100}

    P=5400×10036,P = \frac{5400 \times 100}{36} = 15,000P=365400×100=15,000
