Farm Tax is levied on the 60% of the cultivated Land. The tax department collected total $ 3840 through the farm Tax from the village of Mr. willam. Mr. willam paid only $ 500 as farm tax. The percentage of total land of Mr. willam over the total taxable land of the village is :  Choose one: A) 15.502 % B) 25.7014 % C) 12.502 % D) 21.7014 % E) none

Rationale: "only trick n this question is to ignore 60 % information as farm tax is levied uniformly in the village and that includes mr william ' s land . what percentage of tax mr william paid ? this will be equal to the percentage of total cultivated land he holds over the total cultivated land in the village . that leads to ( 500 / 3840 ) x 100 = 13.02083 % in percentage terms . but the question asks ratio between his total land to total cultivated land . hence the answer is 13.02083 % x ( 100 / 60 ) = 21.7014 % and the answer is not there in the options . the correct answer is ( d ) ."
Answer: D
