The correct Answer is:
C

Total percentage of orders delivered from Monday to Saturday of week III = 16% + 12% + 24% + 20% + 8% + 15% = 95%
Remaining Orders = 100% – 95% = 5%
It is given that, number of orders which were not delivered = 25
Thus, 5% of total orders = 25
So, total number of orders received on Sunday of week II = `25xx100/5` = 500
Now, we can calculate the number of orders delivered on each day and also the number of orders which were returned.

Total number of orders returned till Sunday of week III = 24 + 14 + 39 + 18 + 40 + 25 = 160
Number of orders which were not returned = 500 – 160 = 340
Required percentage = `340/500xx 100` = 68%
Hence, option C is the correct answer.
