2000*25=50000
5%of 2000 piece is 1900*25=47500,in that also the make 25% profit so orginal prize is 47500*100/125=38000.
if 50% loss then 25000only.
so loss is 38000-25000=13000

In every 3 yrs it will be 1.5 times

there are 5 such sessions will come

amount after 3 yrs is (2000)*(1.5)

amount after 6 yrs is ((2000)*(1.5))*(1.5)

amount after 9 yrs is (((2000)*(1.5))*(1.5))*1.5=2000*(1.5)^3

amount after 18 yrs is 2000*(1.5)^6

=2000*11.390625

=22781.25
