Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. 24.5% of X.

49% of X = Y

⇒ Y = (49/100) × X

Now,

Y% of 50

After putting the value of Y

⇒ (49/100) × X × (1/100) × 50

⇒ (2450/10000) × X

⇒ 0.245 × X

Multiply it by 100 to get the value in percentage 

⇒ 0.245 × X × 100

⇒ 24.5% × X

Thus, Y% of 50 is 24.5% of X
