Correct Answer: 150%


Solution : Let the salary of B be 100.
A's salary is 60% less than B = 100 – 60 = 40
$\therefore$ Difference in the salary = 100 – 40 = 60
So, required percentage = $\frac{\text{Difference in salary}}{\text{A's salary}}\times100$
= $\frac{60}{40}\times100$
= 150%
Hence, the correct answer is 150%.
