If A’s income is 40 percent more than B’s income, then what percentage does B earn less than A?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 

A's monthly income is 40% more than B that of B

Let the income of B be 100.

Income of A = 100 + 40% of 100 = 140

Percent of B's income less than A = [(140 - 100)/140] × 100 = 400/14 = 284/7%
