Question from Odisha OCS Paper 2 2024

The correct answer is (C) 5000%

Explanation:

Let’s solve this step by step:

1) When dividing percentages, we can treat them as regular numbers:
250% ÷ 5% = 2.5 ÷ 0.05

2) To divide by a decimal, we can multiply by its reciprocal:
2.5 ÷ 0.05 = 2.5 × (1/0.05) = 2.5 × 20 = 50

3) Since we’re dividing percentages, our answer should be in percentage form:
50 = 5000%

Therefore, the answer is (C) 5000%
