    C)  100 cm                  

    D)         105 cm

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

      Increase \[%=\left( \frac{1}{4}\times 100 \right)%=25%\] Height after 2 years \[=\left[ 64\times {{\left( 1+\frac{25}{100} \right)}^{2}} \right]cm\]                 \[=\left( 64\times \frac{5}{4}\times \frac{5}{4} \right)cm\]                 \[=100cm\]
