(C) 5000%
(D) 5%
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%
