Answer
25

Explanation

In thin layer chromatography using hexane, the least polar compound will rise to maximum height and most polar compound will rise to minimum height.

$\therefore \mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{f}}$ value for most polar compound

$$ \begin{aligned} & =\frac{2}{8}=0.25 \\\\ & =25 \times 10^{-2} \end{aligned} $$
