• let us take given amount of money = x
  from given data we can write 250+x/4 = x/3 - 100
  by solving above eqtn we get x=4200
  so ans is 4200

• check by options..just divide the no by 4 and 250 to it(said in the question) and the again divide the no by 3 and add 100 to it(said in the question).the result should differ by 100(said in the question.
  4200/4=1050. then 1050+250=1300 and 4200/3=1400.
  so clearly 1400-1300=100.
  4200(ans)

• amt=x
  x/3-[x/4+250]=100
  x=4200

• x/3-(x/4+250)=100
  or x/3-x/4=250
  or x=4200
