Answer 1

Madhu's income is less than Hari's income by 16.67 %

Explanation:

Let us assume Madhu's income is 100 %.

Hari's income will be 120 %.

So Madhu's income is less by Hari is: [(120-100)/120] *100 = (20/120)*100 = 16.67 %

Answer 2

Let Mudhu's income be x

Find Hari's income:

20% more than x = 0.2x

Hari's income = x + 0.2 x= 1.2x

Find the percentage of Mudhu's income of Hari's income:

Percentage of Mudhu's income = (Mudhu's income ÷ Hari's income ) x 100

Percentage of Mudhu's income = (x ÷ 1.2x) x 100 = 83.33%

Find the difference in their income:

Difference in percentage = 100 - 83.33 = 16.67%

Answer: Madhu's income is less than Hari's income by 16.67%
