Question : If the salary of Manoj is 40% less than that of Subhash, then by what percentage is the salary of Subhash more than that of Manoj?
Option 1: $60$%
Option 2: $66\frac{1}{4}$%
Option 3: $66\frac{2}{3}$%
Option 4: $65$%
Correct Answer: $66\frac{2}{3}$%
Solution :
Let Subhash's salary be Rs. 100.
The salary of Manoj is 40% less than that of Subhash
Then, Manoj's salary = (100 – 40% of 100) = Rs. 60
So, the required Percentage = $\frac{\text{Difference in salary}}{\text{Salary of Manoj}} × 100$%
= $\frac{40}{60} $× 100%
= $\frac{200}{3}$%
= $66\frac{2}{3}$%
Hence, the correct answer is $66\frac{2}{3}$%.
