Options:

65%

60%

50%

54%

Correct Answer:

50%

Explanation:

25% = \(\frac{1}{4}\) , 60% = \(\frac{3}{5}\) , 20 % = \(\frac{1}{5}\)

Ratio of A to B = 5 : 4 

           B to C = 8 : 5        

           C to D = 4 : 5

Overall  A :  D = 160 : 100

= 8 : 5

That means , If A got 80% than B got 50%
