Correct Answer: 5


Solution : A = 20% of B
⇒ A = $\frac{1}{5}$ × B
⇒ A : B = 1 : 5
Also, B = 25% of C
⇒ B = $\frac{1}{4}$ × C
⇒ B : C = 1 : 4 = 5 : 20
So, A : B : C = 1 : 5 : 20
Let $x$% of C is equal to A.
⇒ $\frac{x}{100} × C = A$
⇒ $\frac{x}{100} × 20 = 1$
⇒ $x$ = 5%
Hence, the correct answer is 5.
