A sum of money at simple interest amounts to Rs. 815 in 3 years and to Rs. 854 in 4 years. The sum is:
Rs. 650
Rs. 690
Rs. 698
Rs. 700
Answer: Option
Explanation:

S.I. for 1 year = Rs. (854 - 815) = Rs. 39.

S.I. for 3 years = Rs.(39 x 3) = Rs. 117.

Principal = Rs. (815 - 117) = Rs. 698.

1year 854-815=39

854-156=698

PTR/100 = 815
P*3*R/100 = 815
R/100=854- 815
p * 3 * 39 = 815
P * 117 = 815
p = 815-117 = 698

To get a si of one year or it might be two years if it is two year we have to divide it by two si=3yrs -2yrs willl give u one year si why should we have to go to risk.

Hai friends,

Principle is the amount borrowed. Here, explain about SI of 3 years and 4 years. Assume P is the principal then, P+854 for 4 years and p+815 for 3yrs.

So here it is necessary to find the SI of one year and subtract it from the 3 year or 4 year.

That is, (815-117) = 698 and 854-156=698.

@Lavanya and kanna

To get 1 year difference we have to subtract
4year amount-3year amount
this difference amount is the 1 year simple interest..
that's why..
Rs. (854 - 815) = Rs. 39
39 is 1year S.I.

hope it helps you..

Why should not subsract with 854? Please clear my doubt....

3y--815,
4y--854,
----------
1y--39,

So, 3y ---39 x 3 = 117

Principal is = (815-117) = 698
