i can see where the trick lies, but i still belive that there are 25% to get the right answer, since there are 4 answers available. imo having 2 answers that share the same value still counts as 2 answers and not 1

0% because none of the answers say 33%

You must be awful at English if you can't even parse this sentence. It's not even a trick question.

There are 4 choices.

Assume you choose one at random

What is the probability you will choose the correct answer?

To solve this you will need to determine both the correct answer, and the probability of choosing it. Yes, that is a circular dependancy. Figure it out.

0%. None of A), B), C) and D) are correct answers.

When in doubt, the correct answer is always C. And you have a 25% chance of choosing C, so it's either A or D. And you have a 50% chance of selecting either A or D so the final answer is B.

I am pretty sure 1/3 is right. It doesn't necessarily have to be listed though. This assumes 25%, 50%, and 65% are the correct answer with equal probabilities (uniformly distributed). Example, if 25% is the right answer, you have a 50% chance of choosing it at random. If 50% or 65% are right, then you have a 1/4 chance of getting it right. I don't think we are better off choosing 25% just because it is listed twice. But ya, it really depends on the distribution that the right answer is.

Undefined because the question is ill-posed.

I think I've figured this problem's internal logic. Following that logic, It should be (B)
There are 4 answers so there's 25% of chance you answer it correctly but as there are two options for 25%, and two that aren't, the answer is 50%.
