Question

If the height of ramesh is less by 20% than suresh, the height of suresh will be greater than that of ramesh by how many percent?

Answer 1

suresh will be greater by 5%

Answer 2

The height of Suresh is more by 25% than the height of Ramesh.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the height of Ramesh is less by 20% than the height of Suresh.

Let, the  height of Suresh is x feet. So, Ramesh will have a height of 20% less than x i.e. $x(1 - \frac{20}{100}) = 0.8x$ feet.

Therefore, the height of Ramesh is 0.8x feet and the height of Suresh is more by (x - 0.8x) = 0.2x than the height of Ramesh.

Hence, the height of Suresh is more by $\frac{0.2x}{0.8x} \times 100\% = 25\%$ than the height of Ramesh. (Answer)
