( correct to the nearest integer)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. 26%.

Let the salary of B be Rs. 100

Then, the salary of A = (100 + 35)/100 × 100 = 135

The percentage of B's income less than A's income = (135 - 100)/135 × 100 = 25.92% or 26%

Thus,

The percentage of B's income less than A's income is 26%
