Question

A's salary is $20\%$ less than B's salary. If C's salary is Rs 10000 and it is $25\%$ more than B's salary, then what is A's salary?

• A. Rs 6000
• B. Rs 9600
• C. Rs 8000
• D. Rs 6400

Answer 1

The correct option is A Rs 6000

$C^{\prime }s$ salary $=10000Rs$

$B^{\prime }s$ salary $=10000-25\%$ of $10000$

$=10000-\frac{25}{100}\times 10000$

$=10000-2500$

$=7500Rs$

$\therefore A^{\prime }s$ salary $=7500-20\%$ of $7500$

$=7500-\frac{20}{100}\times 7500$

$=7500-1500$

$=6000Rs$
