Numerical Ability - Simplification & Approximation

Step-by-Step Solution

Step 1: Compute the percentage
25% of 200 = (25/100) × 200 = 0.25 × 200 = 50.
Step 2: Set up the equation
We have 50 = ? × 25.
Step 3: Isolate the unknown
? = 50 ÷ 25 = 2.
Final Answer:
2 → Option A.
Quick Check:
2 × 25 = 50, which equals 25% of 200, so the answer is correct ✅
Explanation for Beginners:
Percent means 'per hundred'. So 25% of 200 is 25/100 times 200. After computing that you get a simple multiplication equation; undo the multiplication (divide) to find the unknown.

Quick Trick: Convert percent to fraction (x/100), compute that value, then divide by the multiplier to get ?.

Common Mistakes:

Forgetting to convert percent to /100 or dividing the wrong way (e.g., dividing 25 by 50).
