The income of A is 25% more than B's income, and B's income is 20% less than C's income. If A's income is ₹9,000, what is C's income?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

A's income is 25% more than B's income.

A = 125% of B

9000 = 125% of B

B = 9000 × 100/125

= ₹7200

Now, B's income is 20% less than C's income.

B = 80% of C

7200 = 80% of C

C = 7200 × 100/80

= ₹9000
