    Answer : Option B

    Explanation :

    Let the sum be Rs. P.

     

    Then,\([P(1 +(\frac { 10 } { 100 } ) ^2-P]\)=525

     

     P[\( (\frac { 11 } { 10 } )^2-1]\)=525

     

     P =[\([\frac {525*100 } { 2 1} ]\)=2500

     

     Sum = Rs . 2500.

     

    So, S.I. = Rs.\([\frac {2500*5*4} { 100} ]\)=Rs.500
