Extending your explanation.
Question is asking what % of male subscribers are not married.

Male Subs. 20
Not married male subs. =13

Then answer is (13/20)*100 = 65%
D is answer.

male: x/5
male married: 7x/10*1/10=7x/100
male not married: x/5-7x/100=20x-7x/100=13x/100
male not married / male: (13x/100)/(x/5)=13x/100*5/x=13/20=0.65
