A. $$33\frac{1}{3}\% $$
B. 25%
C. 20%
D. $$16\frac{2}{3}\% $$
Answer: Option C
Solution(By Examveda Team)
Let B's Salary is Rs. 100. Then, A's Salary = (100 + 25% of 100) = Rs. 125 Difference between A's Salary and B's Salary = 125 - 100 = Rs. 25 % Difference (lower) = $$\frac{{25}}{{125}} \times 100 = 20\% $$ Mind Calculation Method: 100(B salary) === 25%↑ ===> 125(A salary) === 20%↓ ===> 100 (B salary) B's salary is 20% lower than A'sJoin The Discussion
