Correct Answer: 160%


Solution : 25% = $\frac{1}{4}$
So, Rani : Meena = 1 : 4 = 2 : 8
Now, 40% = $\frac{2}{5}$
So, Rani : Tara = 2 : 5
Now, the ratio of Rani : Meena : Tara = 2 : 8 : 5
Let the weight of Rani, Meena, and Tara be $2x,8x,$ and $5x$ respectively.
Let $r$% of Tara's weight equal to Meena's weight.
So, $r$% of $5x$ = $8x$
⇒ $r=\frac{8x}{5x}×100$
$\therefore r=$ 160%
Hence, the correct answer is 160%.
