Question

Nikhil's income is 20% less than that of Akhil. How much per cent is Akhil's income more than that of Nikhil's?

Answer 1

Let Akhil's income be Rs 100.
∴ Nikhil's income = Rs 80
Akhil's income when Nikhil's income is Rs 80 = Rs 100
Akhil's income when Nikhil's income is Rs 100 = Rs $\left(\frac{100}{80}\times 100\right)$ = Rs 125
i.e., if Nikhil's income is Rs.100, then Akhil's income is Rs 125.
Hence, Akhil's income is more than that of Nikhil's by 25%.
