  • B
    $25, 50, 75$
  • C
    $50, 75, 100$
  • D
    $10, 20, 40$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$25, 33, 50$
(a) $\%$ of $s-$character in

$\mathop {C{H_4}}\limits_{(s{p^3})} = \frac{{100}}{4} = 25$,

$\mathop {{C_2}{H_4}}\limits_{(s{p^2})} = \frac{{100}}{3} = 33$,

$\mathop {{C_2}{H_2}}\limits_{(sp)} = \frac{{100}}{2} = 50$
