  1. Correct Answer is 625
    Explanation : There is no need to find out the Rate of Interest

    Just Proportionate both values
    Let x as Principle
    If x principle amounted to 650 in 3 years and same principle amounted to 676 in 6 years

    So, (x/650) and (x/676), So we have to equal them bt (x/676) is after 6 years and (x/650) is after 3 years. We have equal them by equaling their years to square the other side (x/650)

    (x/650)^2=(x/676). Solve it and you will find 625 Principle
