Question

If $A$'s salary is $30\%$ more than that of $B$, then how much percent is $B$'s salary less than that of $A$'s?

• A. $30$%
• B. $25$%
• C. $23\frac{1}{3}$%
• D. $33\frac{1}{3}$%

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

$23\frac{1}{3}$%

Let $B^{\prime }s$ salary is $Rs100$ per month then $A^{\prime }s$ salary is $Rs.130$ per month.
Hence $B^{\prime }s$ salary is $Rs30$ less than $A^{\prime }s$ salary.
If $A^{\prime }s$ salary is $100Rs$\month then $B^{\prime }s$ salary$=\frac{30}{130}\times 100=23\frac{1}{13}$% is less than of $A$.
