Answer: B)25%

Explanation:

Given : Total number of keys in a key chain = 4 (Total outcomes)

The number of right key to start the car = 1 (Favorable outcome)

Now, If a key is randomly chosen, then the probability that it starts the car is given by :-


\frac{\text{Favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}}\\\\=(1)/(4)=0.25

In percent,
0.25*100=25\%

Hence, the required probability = 25%.
