Suppose a population $A$ has $100$ observations $101, 102, . . ., 200$ and another population $B$ has $100$ observations $151, 152, . . ., 250$. If $V_A$ and $V_B$ represent the variances of the two populations,respectively,then $V_A / V_B$ is:

The sum of squares of deviations for $10$ observations taken from mean $50$ is $250$. The coefficient of variation is.....$\%$
