A sum of money amounts to ₹767 in 3 years, and to ₹806 in 4 years on simple interest at 6% annum. What is the sum?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. ₹650

Calculations:

Interest for 1 year = Amount for 4 years - Amount for 3 years = 806 - 767 = 39

Interest of 3 years = 39 × 3 = 117

Sum = Amount - Interest

⇒ Sum = 767 - 117 = 650
