Correct Answer: 6,850


Solution : Amount of sum of money invested for 7 years = INR 14,522
Amount of sum of money invested for 11 years = INR 18,906
⇒ 4 year's simple interest = 18906 – 14522 = INR 4,384
⇒ 1 years's simple interest = $\frac{4384}{4}$ = INR 1,096
⇒ 7 year's simple interest = 1096 × 7 = INR 7672
$\therefore$ The sum invested = 14522 – 7672 = INR 6,850
Hence the correct answer is 6,850.
