Correct Answer: 1396


Solution : The difference in the amounts after 3 years and 4 years gives us the simple interest for 1 year.
The simple interest for 1 year is INR 1708 – INR 1630 = INR 78
Interest for 3 years = (78 × 3) = INR 234
The initial sum = INR 1630 – INR 234 = INR 1396
Hence, the correct answer is 1396.
