The income of A is 25% more than that of B, and B’s income is 20% more than that of C. D’s income is 60% of the combined income of B and C. Which of the following is true?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. The income of D is 12% less than that of A.
Let C = 100
B = 100 + 20% = 120
A = 120 + 25% = 150
B + C = 120 + 100 = 220
D = 60% of 220 = 132
Option 2:
A = 150, D = 132
% less = × 100 = 18/150 × 100 = 12%
