Correct Answer: $33\frac{1}{3}$%
Solution : Let B's salary be Rs. 100. A's salary is 50% more than that of B. So, A's salary = (100 + 50% of 100) = Rs. 150 Now, B gets (150 – 100) = Rs. 50 less than that of A. So, the required Percentage = $\frac{\text{difference in salaries of A and B}}{\text{salary of A}} × 100$% = $\frac{50}{150}$ × 100% = $33\frac{1}{3}$% Hence, the correct answer is $33\frac{1}{3}$%.
