E. I, II and III

given info
.25*p=.65*.8
p= 208
and q = .5 * 208 = 104

so :
q is 130% of 80 ; true
p is 200% of q: true
q/p = 50% of 1; true
all true
IMO E

25% of p equals 65% of 80 => $$5P=13*80$$
=>P= $$\frac{13}{5}*80$$

q is 50% of P => $$q= \frac{P}{2}$$
=> $$2q=P$$

So $$q= \frac{1}{2}*\frac{13}{5}*80$$
=> $$q=\frac{13}{10}*80$$

I. q is 130% of 80 => $$q=\frac{13}{10}*80$$ True

II. p is 200% of q => $$P=2q$$ True

III. q/p = 50% of 1 =>$$\frac{q}{P}=\frac{1}{2}$$ True
