The correct answer could be any of the answers. However, that would be random and have no definite answer, therefore the answer is C, 50% as one of the two 25% must be the correct answer. But if one of A and D is the correct answer, then it can't be C. Therefore, the answer must be B, there is no chance of getting the correct answer because the correct answer must be 100% and that's not an option.

Stander Jul 2023 11:24am, 14 Jul 2023 130 posts	0 Stander Surely the only correct way to answer this is to take a 50/50 and hope the C is one of the final two options left?

It's not asking what the correct answer is, it's asking what are the chances of me choosing the correct answer. If A or D is the correct %age, then wouldn't the chances of me choosing it be 50%? /Confused ]
