Question

Mahesh's income is 20% more than Mohan's income but 20% less than Rahim's income. Tell Mohan's income is less than what percentage of Rahim's income?​

Answer 1

Let,

Mahesh's income = x

Mohan's income = y

Rahim's income = z

A.T.Q, Mahesh's income is 20% more than Mohan's income,

=> x = y + 20% ---->(1)

also, Mahesh's income is 20% less than Rahim's income,

=> x = z - 20% ---->(2)

from (1) and (2),

y + 20% = z - 20%

z - y = 20% + 20%

z - y = 40%

Therefore, Rahim's income is 40% less than Mohan's income.
