    Solution:

    Concep- We will first write 0.353535   and 0.252525   in the form of p q   where q0   separately. For doing that, we will express the first term as x=0.353535  , then multiply with 100 as 100x=35.353535   and then express it as 100x=35+0.353535  . Now, again this can be written as 100x=35+x  . Now, we can get x   in the form of a fraction. In a similar manner, we will carry out this process again for the second term. Then sum these two values in fractional form. The percent we ultimately achieve will be the one we need. The needed result is then obtained by multiplying its numerator and denominator.
    0.353535+0.252525=0.6060..  
     Let x=0.6060  
    100x=60.6060  
    100xx=60  
    99x=60  
    x= 60 99 = 20 33  Numerator =20   and Denominator =33  
    Their product =33×20=660  
    Hence, the correct answer is option 4.
