Question

If the income of Ravi is 24% more than that of Ram, then by what percentage is the income of Ram less than that of Ravi?

• A. 700/31 %
• B. 600/31 %
• C. 400/31 %
• D. 500/31 %

Answer 1

Answer:

B. 600/31 %

Let Ram’s income = 100

Then Ravi’s income = (100 + 24 = 124)

Now, percentage by which Ram is less than Ravi:
$\frac{124 - 100}{124} \times 100$
$= \frac{24}{124} \times 100$

$= \frac{600}{31}\%$
