x = 200 + 150%(200) = 500
now x = what % ( 50% (500))
sub x = 500 in above
500 = what % ( 250).
500 is twice of 250. So now we have 250 as value and we need 250 more. So 100% is needed.
Option D.

If x is 150% greater than 200, then x is 250% of 200, or 2.5 x 200 = 500. Since 50% of 500 = 0.5 x 500 = 250, then x = 500 is (500 - 250)/250 = 100 percent greater than 250.
Answer: D
