    Answer : Option A

    Explanation :

     Sum = Rs.\((\frac { 50*100 } { 2*5 })\)= Rs. 500.

     

     Amount=Rs.\([500*(1+\frac { 5} { 100 } )^2]\)

           

                =Rs.\((500*\frac { 21 } { 20 } *\)\(\frac { 21 } { 2 0}\)]

           

               =Rs.551.25

     

     C.I. = Rs. (551.25 - 500) = Rs. 51.25
