Answer 2

Answer:  Ankita's age is 20% less than that of Rahul's age.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that Ankita is 25 years old and Rahul's age is 25% greater than than of Ankita.

We are to find the percentage by which Ankita's age is less than Rahul's age.

Let x represents the age of Rahul in years.

Then, according to the given information, we have

$x=25+25\%\times 25=25+\dfrac{25}{100}\times25=25+6.25=31.25.$

So, Rahul's age is 31.25 years.

Therefore, the percentage by which Ankita's age is less than Rahul's age is given by

$\dfrac{31.25-25}{31.25}\times100\%\\\\\\=\dfrac{6.25}{31.25}\times100\%\\\\\\=0.2\times100\%\\\\=20\%.$

Thus, Ankita's age is 20% less than that of Rahul's age.
