The rule when rounding off numbers is "If the first figure to be discarded is 5 or more then the previous figure is increased by 1".
As we are rounding to the nearest hundred then the first figure to be discarded is 9. As this is greater than 5 then the previous figure (3) is increased by 1 (to become 4)
1396 to the nearest 100 is 1400.
