Given:

Principal amount (P) = Rs. 9,000

Time (T) = 7 years

Ratio between total interest and principal = 7 : 10

Formula used:

Simple Interest (SI) = (P × R × T) / 100

Calculation:

We are given that the ratio of the total interest (SI) to the principal amount (P) is 7 : 10. This means:

SI / P = 7 / 10

Substitute P = 9000 into the equation:

SI / 9000 = 7 / 10

SI = (7 / 10) × 9000

SI = 6300

∴ The simple interest is Rs. 6300.
