Answer 2

Dear Student,

● Answer -

(c) 20%

● Explaination -

Let x be Mohan's income and y be Raman's income.

Given that x is 25% more than y.

x = (100+25)/100 × y

x = 125y/100

x = 5y/4

y = 4x/5

y = 0.8x

y = 0.8x × 100

y = 80% of x

Hence, Raman's income is 100-80 = 20% less than Mohan's income.

Thanks dear. Hope this helps you...
