Answer

Statement II: To round 24.62 to the nearest whole number, look at the tenths digit, which is 6 ≥ 5, so we round up. So 24.62 ≈ 25.

Also, 25%=25100=1425\% = \dfrac{25}{100} = \dfrac{1}{4}. So Statement II is true.

Statement I: 24.62% ≈ 25% = 14\dfrac{1}{4}. So Statement I is also true.

Hence, option 3 is the correct option.
