    Question

    A.

    100 percent

    B.

    95 percent

    C.

    105 percent

    D.

    85 percent

    Correct option is B

    Solution:
    Let’s assume:
    A2 = x
    Then, A1 is 19 times more than A2, which means:

    A2=xThen A1=x+19x=20xPercentage less of A2 compared to A1:(A1A2A1)×100=(20xx20x)×100 =(19x20x)×100=95%\text A_2 = x \\\text{Then } A_1 = x + 19x = 20x \\[10pt]\text{Percentage less of } A_2 \text{ compared to } A_1: \\\left( \frac{A_1 - A_2}{A_1} \right) \times 100 = \left( \frac{20x - x}{20x} \right) \times 100 \\\ \\= \left( \frac{19x}{20x} \right) \times 100 = 95\%

    Final Answer: (B) 95 percent​​
