B. Rs. 125

C. Rs. 150

D. Rs. 167.50

Answer: Option A

Solution(By Examveda Team)

$$\eqalign{ & {\text{Gain in 2 years}} \cr & = {\left( {5000 \times \frac{{25}}{4} \times \frac{2}{{100}}} \right) - \left( {\frac{{5000 \times 4 \times 2}}{{100}}} \right)} \cr & = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\left( {625 - 400} \right) \cr & = {\text{Rs}}{\text{. }}225 \cr & \therefore {\text{Gain 1 year}} = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\left( {\frac{{225}}{2}} \right) \cr & = {\text{Rs}}{\text{. }}112.50 \cr} $$
