Answer 2

Answer:

Shashi's income is less than Rahul's income by 28.57%.

Step-by-step explanation:    

Given Rahul's income is 40% more than that of Shashi's.

Let the income of Shashi be ₹100.

Then the income of Rahul = 40% of Shashi's income + 100

$= \dfrac{40}{100} \times 100 + 100$

$= 40+ 100=140$

Therefore, Rahul's income = ₹ 140

The difference between Rahul's and Shashi's income $=140-100$ =  ₹ 40

Then the percentage difference is

$= \dfrac{40}{140}\times 100$

$= \dfrac{400}{14}=28.57\%$

Therefore, Shashi's income is less than Rahul's income by 28.57%.
