    Question

    If A's salary is 12% more than that of B, then by what percentage is B's salary less than that of A (correct to two decimal places)?​

    A.

    13.26%

    B.

    10.71%

    C.

    11.73%

    D.

    12.47%

    Correct option is B

    Given:

    A's salary is 12% more than B's salary.

    Solution: 

    Let B's salary be ₹100

    Then A's salary = ₹112

    Difference = 112 - 100 = 12

    Percentage less = 12112×10010.71% \frac{12}{112} \times 100 \approx 10.71\%​​

    Thus, B's salary is 10.71% less than A's salary
