Correct Answer: 75%


Solution : Given,
M can complete a work in 50 days.
Work rate of M = $\frac{1}{50}$
N can complete the same work in 100 days.
work rate of N = $ \frac{1}{100}$
The work rate of M and N together
= $\frac{1}{50} + \frac{1}{100}$
= $\frac{3}{100}$
Now, work completed in 25 days = $\frac{3}{100} × 25= 0.75=75\%$
Hence, the correct answer is 75%.
