Correct Answer:
Option
C
$$\eqalign{
& {\text{Let the positive number be x}}. \cr
& {\text{According}}\,{\text{to}}\,{\text{the}}\,{\text{question}}, \cr
& x \times x = x + \frac{{\left( {x \times 2000} \right)}}{{100}} \cr
& {x^2} = x + 20x \cr
& {x^2} - 21x = 0 \cr
& {\text{Either}}, \cr
& x = 0,\,\,or \cr
& x = 21 \cr
& {\text{21}}\,{\text{is}}\,{\text{the}}\,{\text{possible}}\,{\text{value}}{\text{.}} \cr
& {\text{Then}}\,{\text{square}}\,{\text{of}}\,21\,{\text{is}}\,441 \cr} $$
