Answer 2

If y exceeds x by 25%, then x is less than y by 20%

Given :

y exceeds x by 25%

To find :

x is less than y by

(a) 16%

(b) 16 1/3 %

(c) 20%

(d) 16 3/5 %

Solution :

Step 1 of 2 :

Assume the value of x and y

Here it is given that y exceeds x by 25%

Let x = 100m

Then y = 100m + 25m = 125m

Step 2 of 2 :

Find x is how much less than y

x = 100m

y = 125m

y - x = 25m

Hence x is less than y by

$\displaystyle \sf{ = \frac{25m}{125m} \times 100\% }$

$\displaystyle \sf{ = \frac{1}{5} \times 100\% }$

$\displaystyle \sf{ =20\% }$

Hence the correct option is (c) 20%
