Given:

Principal (P) = ₹1,500

Amount (A) = ₹2,250

Rate (R) = 10% per annum

Formula used:

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

Amount (A) = P + SI

Calculations:

2250 = 1500 + 1500 × 10 × T / 100

⇒ 2250 = 1500 + 150 × T

⇒ 2250 - 1500 = 150 × T

⇒ 750 = 150 × T

⇒ T = 750 / 150

⇒ T = 5

∴ The correct answer is option (2).
