cytosine=30%

Explanation:

Applying Chargaff's rule,

DNA has a 1:1 ratio of pyrimidine and purine bases.
That is, the amount of guanine is equal to cytosine and the amount of adenine is equal to thymine.

so if adenine=20%, thymine will also be 20%
that's a total of 40% of A-T

so the remaining 60% is divided between Cytosine and Guanine,
that's 30% each.!
