Correct Answer: $66\frac{2}{3}\%$
Solution :
Given: A's salary is 40% less than B.
Let salary of B = 100 units
Then, salary of A = B – 40% of B = 100 – ($\frac{40}{100}$ × 100) = 60 units
Percentage of B's salary more than A $=\frac{B-A}{A} × 100 = (\frac{100–60}{60}) × 100 = 66\frac{2}{3}\%$
Hence, the correct answer is $66\frac{2}{3}\%$.
