Correct Answer:  60 percent of the total caps in the shop is blue.

Explanation:

Given the number of blue cap = 42

The number of red cap = 42 x $\frac{1}{3}$ = 14

& the number of green cap =14 x $\frac{1}{2}$ = 7

As, the green and yellow caps are same of number, so the number of yellow cap = 7.

Total number of cap = 42 +14 + 7 + 7 = 70

As, the green and yellow caps are same of number, so the number of yellow cap = 7.

Total number of cap = 42 +14 + 7 + 7 = 70

The percentage of blue cap = $\frac{42}{70}$ x 100% = 60%
