Answer 1

As income of ramesh is 20% more than mahesh

therefore income of mahesh is less than ramesh by  20%

Answer 2

let mahesh's income be 100
then ramesh income is 20% more i.e 120
for Mahesh's 100= 120 of ramesh
Mahesh's 100/120=1 of ramesh
mahesh's 100/120*100= 100 of ramesh
Mahesh's 83.33= 100 of ramesh
i.e 100-x/100 of 100=83.33
is x= 16.77
16.77%
