​

Answer 1

Answer:

B's income is 20% less than A's

Step-by-step explanation:

let B's income be 100 rupees

then, A's income = (100+25% of 100) rupees

100+25% of 100) rupees = ( 100 + 25) rupees

100+25% of 100) rupees = ( 100 + 25) rupees = 125 rupees

Now,

difference between the incomes of A and B

=( 125 - 100 ) rupees

Hence, the percentage of B's income less than A's = (25 × 100 / 125)%

= 20%
