Explanation:-

$$\eqalign{ & {\text{S}}{\text{.I}}{\text{. = Rs}}{\text{. }}\left( {15000 \times \frac{{25}}{2} \times 2 \times \frac{1}{{100}}} \right) \cr & \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = {\text{Rs}}{\text{. }}3750 \cr & {\text{C}}{\text{.I}}{\text{. = Rs}}{\text{. }}\left[ {15000{{\left( {1 + \frac{{25}}{{2 \times 100}}} \right)}^2} - 15000} \right] \cr & = {\text{Rs}}{\text{. }}\left( {15000 \times \frac{9}{8} \times \frac{9}{8} - 15000} \right) \cr & = {\text{Rs}}{\text{. }}\left( {18948.375 - 15000} \right) \cr & = {\text{Rs}}{\text{. }}3984.375 \cr & {\text{Difference }} \cr & {\text{ = Rs}}{\text{. }}\left( {3984.375 - 3750} \right) \cr & = {\text{Rs}}{\text{. }}234.375 \cr}$$
