A. 4/5
B. 3/5
C. 3/10
D. 1/5
E. 1/10

100% - (15% + 10% + 55%) = 20% remains for other allocations.

20% = 20/100 = 1/5.

Answer: D.

15 + 10 + 55 = 80% 100 - 80 = 20% to all others

we can eliminate few options... just in case we need to do that...
since 55% is already allocated...the remaining portion has to be lesser than 50%
A and B are > 50%. eliminate them.
