Solution

Difference in amounts = ₹2400 - ₹2000 = ₹400

Percentage by which ₹2000 is less than ₹2400
$= \frac{400}{2400} \times 100 = 16.67$ %
Percentage by which ₹2400 is more than ₹2000
$= \frac{400}{2000} \times 100 = 20$ %

The percentage by which ₹2400 is more than ₹2000 is not the same as the percentage by which ₹2000 is less than ₹2400.

Hence, option A is correct.
