I would prefer approximation in this case rather than getting into lengthy calculations.

m is almost 1/3 while w is almost 1/2. Going by this, c would result into 1/6.

Thus, the increasing order would c,m,w.

The answer should be A.

question can be solved by using percentages as well...!!!
1/25=4% therefore 9/25=36%;
1/32=3.12% therefore 15/32~47%;
therefore c=17%;
hence required order is C,W,M which is A
