Correct Answer: 26%


Solution : A's income is 35% more than B's income.
Concept Used:
Percentage change from A to B = $\frac{(\text{Difference of A and B})}{\text{A}} × 100$%
Calculation:
Let the value of B be 100.
Then according to the question, the value of A = 135
The percentage of B's income less than A's income = $\frac{135-100}{135}$ × 100 = 25.92% ≈ 26%
$\therefore$ B's income is less than A's income by 26%.
Hence, the correct answer is 26%.
