The correct answer is: $3500$
$\begin{aligned} & \frac{d p}{d x}=100-12 \sqrt{x} \Rightarrow \int d p=\int(100-12 \sqrt{x}) d x \\ & \Rightarrow p=100 x-12 \times \frac{2}{3} x^{3 / 2}+C \\ & \Rightarrow p=100 x-8 x^{3 / 2}+200[\because \text { at } x=0, p=2000] \\ & \Rightarrow p=100 \times 25-8 \times(25)^{3 / 2}+2000[\text { putting } x=25] \\ & \Rightarrow p=2500-1000+2000=3500\end{aligned}$
