Answer 2

Answer:

It's a paradoxical question and can not be answered...

Explanation:

Could 25% be the correct answer? If so, you would select it in 2 of 4 equally likely choices. But then you’d have a 50% chance of randomly selecting the answer, and so clearly 25% cannot be the correct answer.

Can 50% be the correct answer? If so, you would select it in 1 of 4 equally likely choices. But then you’d have a 25% chance of randomly selecting the answer. But we just showed 25% cannot be the correct choice.

By the process of elimination, the answer must be 0%. But if that’s so, you would select it in 1 of 4 equally likely choices, so you’d have a 25% chance of being correct. But we already showed that’s not possible!

So the question is self-referential and paradoxical. None of the answer choices can be chosen randomly with the correct probability.
