Detailed Solution

Given that a sum of money at simple interest amounts to Rs. 815 in 3 years and to Rs. 854 in 4 years.
Amount after 4 years = Amount after 3 years + Simple interest in 1 year
Simple interest in one year=Amount in 1 year-Principal
 Simple interest in one year=Rs.(854-815) Simple interest in one year=Rs. 39 So,
Simple interest for 3 years=39×3 Simple interest for 3 years=Rs. 117 We know,
Sum=Amount-Interest
Sum=Rs.(815-117)  Sum=Rs. 698 Thus, the sum is Rs. 698.
Therefore, the correct option is 1.
