I'm going to double down and say that on a real life test, this would likely represent a typo. In such case, I think you could successfully defend a 25% answer while a 60% answer is just right out the window, straight to jail.

The typo makes the answer incorrect. The whole question would need to be thrown out.

But some tests award bonus points if you get the thrown out question right by answering what it should have been!
