Solution:
Given Rs 2,000 less than Rs 2,400

This means 2000 is 400 less than 2400
The percentage that 2000 is less than 2400
= [ 400/2000] × 100
= 0.2 × 100
= 20%
Therefore, 2000 is 20% less than 2400.
Rs 2,400 is more than Rs 2,000
Here 2400 - 2000 = 400
2400 is 400 more than 2000
The percentage that 2400 is more than 2000
= [ 400/2400] × 100
= 0.2 × 100
=16.66%
Therefore, 2400 is 16.66% more than 2000
Therefore,
2000 is 20% less than 2400 and 2400 is 16.66% more than 2000, so both percentages are not equal.
