What do you mean by DNA?

DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid. It is considered as the genetic material of most organisms. It is a complex molecule that bears genetic information.

Amount of cytosine = 30%

According to Chargaff's rule, A=T, C=G.

∴ Guanine = 30%

Now A + T = 40%

Therefore, the amount of thymine molecules is 20%.
