Correct Answer: Rs. 128
Solution : Let the person have Rs. $x$ initially. He loses $75$% of his money up to the third bet and returns home with Rs. 2. According to the question, $x×\frac{100–75}{100}×\frac{100–75}{100}×\frac{100–75}{100}=2$ $⇒ x×\frac{1}{4}×\frac{1}{4}×\frac{1}{4}=2$ $⇒ x=128$ Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 128.
