Solution

The correct option is A 5
From the question, it is given that

Total matches played by a local team = 20

Percentage of matches won by the local team = 25%
Then,
Number of matches won by the team = 25% of 20

= 25100× 20

= 255
= 5 matches.

∴The local team won 5 matches out of 20 matches.
