Answer:

(b) 40

Explanation:

You want the value of the "whole" corresponding to a "part" of 25 in the given table.

Parts

Based on the relationships in the 2nd and 3rd columns, it appears that the parts on the second line are 5/8 of the whole.

This means that 25 is 5/8 of B, or ...

B = 8/5 × 25 = 40

The value of B in the table is (b) 40.

__

Additional comment

The parts on the first line will be 3/5 of the value of the parts on the second line. The sum of the two parts in each column is equal to the whole.
