Solution

The correct option is D 12
f(n)>2 is possible only if n=3k+1
Here, n{,5,2,1,4,7,10,}

Let us verify for positive elements
f(1)=101=9>2f(4)=104=6>2f(7)=107=3>2f(10)=1010=0

So, positive elements in S are 1,4,7
Sum of elements =1+4+7=12

Alternate :
f(n)>2
10n>2
n<8
Numbers of the form n=3k+1 are 1,4,7
Sum of positive elements =1+4+7=12
