  • A15%
  • B65%
  • C62.5%
  • D160%

Step-by-Step Solution

Take the total stock as 100 units: wheat = 25 and rice = 40. Wheat as a per cent of rice = 25/40 = 0.625 = 62.5%. 160% is 40/25, the comparison the other way round. 15% is the gap of 15 percentage points, which answers a different question altogether, and 65% simply adds the two shares.
Answer: C) 62.5%
