SSC Selection Post - Higher Secondary Level 2022 - 10 Feb 2022 - Shift 2 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q51

A’s salary is 32% more than B’s. How much per cent (correct to the nearest integer) is B’s salary less than A’s?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 24%.

Let’s assume B’s salary = 100 units.
Then, A’s salary = 100 + 32% of 100 = 100 + 32 = 132 units.

Percentage less=(A−B)/A ​× 100 = (132−100)/132 ​×100 = (32/132) ​× 100 = 24%
