Answer 1

20% is the correct answer

Answer 2

Answer:

Rajan's incomes is 17% less than Manan.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Rajan's income be Rs. x.

Then Manan's incomes is,$x\times[1+\frac{20}{100}]=1.20x$.

Compute the percentage by which Rajan's income is less than Manan as follows:

$\frac{Manan's\ income-Rajan's\ income}{Manan's\ incomes}\times100=\frac{1.20x-x}{1.20x}\times100\\=\frac{0.20x}{1.20x}\times100\\= 1.6667\%\\\approx17\%$

Thus, Rajan's incomes is 17% less than Manan.
