If A's salary is 25% more than B's salary, then B's salary is how much lower than A's salary?

Answer & Solution
Correct Answer: Option C
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's

B=100 A=125
difference=125-100 = 25
x% of 125 = 25
x/100 * 125 = 25
x=25* 100/125 =20

B=100
A= 25% of 100 +100=125
difference=125-100 = 25
x% of 125 = 25
x/100 * 125 = 25
x=25* 100/125 =20
