Solution

The correct option is C

20%


Step 1: Solve for the difference between Mohan's and Raman's income.

Let us assume Mohan's income be Xand Raman's income be Y

Given that,

Mohan's income is 25% more than Raman's income i.e. X=Y+25%ofY

X=Y+25100Y

X=Y1+25100

X=Y100+25100X=Y125100

Then the difference between both the income is =125100Y-Y=25100Y

Step 2: Solve for Raman's income in comparison to Mohan's income.

Raman's income as compared to Mohan's income =Difference(Mohan'sincome)×100

=25Y100125Y100×100=25125×100=20%

Raman's income is 20%less than Mohan's income.

Hence, the correct option is option (C) i.e. 20%
