Question

Rajan earns $33\frac{1}{3}$ % less than Ram. Then by how much percent is Ram's income above Rajan's?

• A. 40%
• B. 50%
• C. 60%
• D. 70%

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

50%

Given that, Rajan earns $33\frac{1}{3}$ percent less than Ram.

Let, the income of Ram is 100 r.s.

Then the income of Rajan is$=100-33\frac{1}{3}=100-\frac{100}{3}=\frac{200}{3}$

Difference in income is $=100-\frac{200}{3}=\frac{100}{3}$

Now, required income in percent $=\frac{100\times \frac{100}{3}}{\frac{200}{3}}=50$ percent

Hence, this is the answer.
