A project requires three phases: Design, Development, and Testing. The Design phase takes 30% of the total project time. The Development phase takes 50% more time than the Design phase. How much of the total project time does the Testing phase take?

A 15%
B 25%
C 30%
D 45%

✓ Correct Answer: Option B

Design = 30%. Development = 30% * 1.5 = 45%. Total for Design and Development = 30% + 45% = 75%. Therefore, Testing takes 100% - 75% = 25% of the total project time.

💡 Why is B) the correct answer?
