Correct Answer: INR 500


Solution : Amount for 3 years = INR 800
Amount for 4 years = INR 900
Simple interest = Amount – Principal
$\therefore$ Simple interest for third year = 900 – 800 = INR 100
Total simple interest for 3 years = 100 × 3 = INR 300
$\therefore$ Principal sum = 800 – 300 = INR 500
Hence, the correct answer is INR 500.
