Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Correct answer: 3/25
Given: M = 30% of Q, Q = 20% of P, and N = 50% of P.
Express M in terms of P: Q = 0.2P, so M = 0.3 × Q = 0.3 × 0.2P = 0.06P.
Express N in terms of P: N = 0.5P.
Compute the ratio: M/N = 0.06P / 0.5P = 0.12 = 3/25.
So the value of M/N is 3/25.
