Correct Answer: 125


Solution : Let the number be $x$.
According to the question,
$\frac{60}{100}\times\frac{40}{100}\times x=150$
⇒ $\frac{3}{5}\times\frac{2}{5}\times x=150$
$\therefore x=625$
Now, 20% of $x$
= $\frac{20}{100}\times x$
= $\frac{1}{5}\times 625$
= 125
Hence, the correct answer is 125.
