\mathrm{SO_3 + H_2O \rightarrow H_2SO_4}

% of free SO3 in Oleum = 25 %

\therefore Weight of SO3 in the 100g Oleum sample = 25 g

\therefore Moles of SO3 present = 25/80 = 0.3125

\therefore Moles of H2O added = 0.3125 X 18

\therefore Weight of H2O added = 5.625 g

\therefore  % labelling of Oleum= (100+ 5.625) = 105.625 %

Thus, the correct option is (1)
